Floor & skirting joints in Seal, Kent
Floor joints in Seal need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Why act early in Seal
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Seal, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Tidy, careful work
- Colour picked to suit the job

Floor joint sealing in Seal
Across Seal, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and tiled floors with no room to move.
Around Seal, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

New homes and floors in Seal
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.
If you let a flat or house near Bat & Ball station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Seal Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Seal
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
