How we handle floor joint sealing in Lyminge
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Work in a small place like Lyminge just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Common problems we fix in Lyminge
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints that fill with dirt
If you look after a building such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What to look for in a quote

- Are they insured?
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What else we do in Lyminge
Why it’s worth doing now in Lyminge
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 Lyminge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Lyminge questions
Is Lyminge in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lyminge is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Lyminge within the area you cover?
Yes. Lyminge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Lyminge
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Sandling station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
