Why it’s worth doing now in Offham
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Around Offham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

About our floor joint sealing in Offham
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and tiled floors alike.
Older homes in small places like Offham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Offham
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Floor joint sealing around Offham
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Offham Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to West Malling station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Related advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
