Old Hawkinge questions
Do you cover Old Hawkinge for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Old Hawkinge is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Old Hawkinge within the area you cover?
Yes. Old Hawkinge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. In a small place like Old Hawkinge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Floor joint sealing around Old Hawkinge
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Michael are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Folkestone Central station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawkinge Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Old Hawkinge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
