Floor joint sealing in Littlebourne
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Littlebourne often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Littlebourne
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Littlebourne
Do you cover smaller places like Littlebourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Littlebourne?
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Vincent, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Littlebourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
Getting a quote

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not paint over silicone
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Floor joint sealing in Littlebourne: local notes
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.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Littlebourne Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
