Floor joint sealing in Larkfield
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for concrete floor joints that have broken down and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Work in a small place like Larkfield just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Joints and finishes in Larkfield homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near New Hythe station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like Brookfield Junior School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins.

For a village or hamlet like Larkfield, 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.

- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
