About our floor joint sealing in Millbank
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
In a village or hamlet like Millbank, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Millbank
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Around Millbank, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Millbank
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Millbank?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Millbank
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Millbank, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
New homes and floors in Millbank
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Cross, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
