About our floor joint sealing in Patrixbourne
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Patrixbourne, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Patrixbourne
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Patrixbourne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

Patrixbourne questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Patrixbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
New homes and floors in Patrixbourne
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bridge and Patrixbourne Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Bekesbourne station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
