Joints and finishes in Monk's Hill homes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Monk's Hill
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and tiled floors with no room to move.
Older homes in small places like Monk's Hill often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we’re called out for in Monk's Hill
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a building such as Smarden Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Monk's Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Headcorn station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Monk's Hill for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Monk's Hill is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Monk's Hill
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Monk's Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
