Floor & skirting joints in Otham, Kent
We cover Otham for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit to Otham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

Floor joint sealing in Otham
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We are often asked to deal with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on commercial floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
In and around Otham, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Otham
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you let a flat or house near Bearsted station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Otham
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.
Managing a site like Senacre Technology College? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like St Nicholas's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Homes in smaller places like Otham 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
