What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Lodge Lees
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We’re often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and failed joint filler in concrete floors, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Lodge Lees often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lodge Lees
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lodge Lees, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Lodge Lees
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Lodge Lees
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lodge Lees
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Lodge Lees?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lodge Lees is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
