Floor joint sealing around Knave's Ash
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hoath Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Church of the Holy Cross, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Knave's Ash
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are floor edges that trap water and grime and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Around Knave's Ash, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
