What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Langley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

About our floor joint sealing in Langley
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Work in a small place like Langley just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
Common problems we fix in Langley
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.

New homes and floors in Langley
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 landlords with property near Bearsted station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Langley Park Primary Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
