- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Petham
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Petham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Petham
Do you cover Petham for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Petham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Chartham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Petham
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Petham and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Why act early in Petham
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Petham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Joints and finishes in Petham homes
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Petham Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Chartham station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Petham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
