Floor & skirting joints in Pollhill, Kent
Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for householders, landlords and businesses in Pollhill. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves

What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pollhill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Pollhill
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Around Pollhill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Floor joint sealing in Pollhill: local notes
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere like Pollhill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Pollhill
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
