Floor joint sealing around Pratling Street
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Aylesford station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Methodist Church Including Sunday School, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Pratling Street?
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Managing a site like St Peter's Church of England Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.

What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Pratling Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
