Common questions in Painters Ash
I let a flat near Ebbsfleet International station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Painters Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Painters Ash?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Floor joint sealing in Painters Ash
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
In smaller places like Painters Ash, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Floor joint sealing around Painters Ash
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Painters Ash Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Ebbsfleet International station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Painters Ash
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Around Painters Ash, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
