About our floor joint sealing in Oare
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are open joints that fill with dirt and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Older homes in small places like Oare often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Oare?
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

FAQs for Oare
Do you cover smaller places like Oare?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Oare, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Joints and finishes in Oare homes
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Davington Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
