Why it’s worth doing now in Lidsing
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lidsing can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Floor joint sealing in Lidsing
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We’re often asked to deal with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, on thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors.
Older homes in small places like Lidsing often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Questions from Lidsing
I let a flat near Rainham (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Lidsing in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lidsing is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Lidsing?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
When to call us in Lidsing
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.

Joints and finishes in Lidsing homes
Floors around Medway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Swingate Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
