Floor joint sealing in Newnham, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and people most often call us about failed joint filler in concrete floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Work in a small place like Newnham just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Newnham and across Kent.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Joints and finishes in Newnham homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastling Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Teynham station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Newnham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
