The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Saltwood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Saltwood
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
For a small place like Saltwood, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Saltwood as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Saltwood
Is Saltwood within the area you cover?
Yes. Saltwood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Sandling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
New homes and floors in Saltwood
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.
Schools such as Saltwood CofE Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Sandling station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Why act early in Saltwood
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Saltwood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
