What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Knockholt Pound
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Work in a small place like Knockholt Pound just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.

Knockholt Pound questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Knockholt Pound?
Yes, Knockholt Pound is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Knockholt station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Knockholt Pound, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Around Knockholt Pound, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Knockholt Pound
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as St Katharine's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Knockholt station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Halstead Community Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
