How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Floor joint sealing in Scragged Oak
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Somewhere as small as Scragged Oak, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Scragged Oak
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Rented homes near Bearsted station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Where are you based?

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Scragged Oak
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Scragged Oak, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot 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. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
