About our floor joint sealing in Puddledock
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We’re often asked to deal with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on skirting boards, tiled floors and commercial floors.
Around Puddledock, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Puddledock, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

New homes and floors in Puddledock
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Hextable Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Swanley station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Puddledock, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
