Floor & skirting joints in Lower Cox Street, Kent
Problem with your floor joints in Lower Cox Street? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Lower Cox Street
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. If you’re dealing with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Older homes in small places like Lower Cox Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
