Related advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Lenham Forstal
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For landlords with property near Lenham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Joints and finishes in Lenham Forstal homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as The Lenham School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lenham Forstal, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Lenham Forstal
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lenham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Lenham Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes, Lenham Forstal is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
