Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Pested, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

About our floor joint sealing in Pested
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Pested. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. Common call-outs are for skirting caulk that keeps splitting and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, on skirting boards, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
Somewhere as small as Pested, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Pested
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Schools such as Challock Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.

FAQs for Pested
Do you work for landlords with property near Wye station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Pested?
Yes, Pested is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Pested?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
