Floor joint sealing in Platt's Heath, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Work in a small place like Platt's Heath just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Platt's Heath and across Kent.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Platt's Heath?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long the guarantee is
- How hidden problems are handled
- How long to leave it before use
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Platt's Heath, 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 generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. In a small place like Platt's Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Platt's Heath
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 landlords with property near Lenham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Platts Heath Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
