Floor joint sealing in Sellindge
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Sellindge, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Sellindge, 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Honest limits
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
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in Sellindge
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Floor joint sealing in Sellindge: local notes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Sellindge Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
