Landlords, agents and businesses in Palmarsh
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Palmarsh and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Floor joint sealing in Palmarsh, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are concrete floor joints that have broken down and floor edges that trap water and grime.
In smaller places like Palmarsh, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Floor joint sealing in Palmarsh: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Holy Cross are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Palmarsh Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Where we work in Palmarsh
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. A visit to Palmarsh is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
