What floor joint sealing looks like in Ospringe
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.
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like Ospringe Church of England Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Floor joint sealing in Ospringe, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Homes around Ospringe range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Homes in smaller places like Ospringe can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Common problems we fix in Ospringe
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
