Floor joint sealing in North Street
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are open joints around bathroom floor edges and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Older homes in small places like North Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Joints and finishes in North Street homes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

Common questions in North Street
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like North Street?
Yes. North Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
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. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
When can I walk on the floor?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What affects the quote in North Street
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in North Street
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a building such as Sheldwich Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How it works

What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like North Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
