Floor joint sealing in Postling Green, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are worn sealant at door thresholds and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Around Postling Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Postling Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
New homes and floors in Postling Green
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 St Martin are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Aldington Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Postling Green

The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

Postling Green: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Postling Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Postling Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
