Milstead: your questions answered
Is Milstead within the area you cover?
Yes. Milstead 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.
I let a flat near Sittingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
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.
Floor joint sealing in Milstead, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. If you’re dealing with concrete floor joints that have broken down and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Milstead, 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’re 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.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
New homes and floors in Milstead
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Sittingbourne station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. In a small place like Milstead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
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.
When to call us in Milstead
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Managing a site like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
