When to call us in Rusthall
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
If you look after a building such as Rusthall St Paul's CofE VA Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Rusthall
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. We’re often asked to deal with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and concrete floor joints that have broken down, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
In smaller places like Rusthall, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
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 morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. In a smaller place like Rusthall, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
New homes and floors in Rusthall
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Tunbridge Wells station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as St Paul's Church Centre, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
