New homes and floors in Lower Higham
Across Medway, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Higham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Higham Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing in Lower Higham
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Somewhere as small as Lower Higham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Lower Higham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What else we do in Lower Higham
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Lower Higham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

When to call us in Lower Higham
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
