Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Selling
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. Common call-outs are for failed joint filler in concrete floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, across skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Selling, 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Selling?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
When to call us in Selling
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
For landlords with property near Selling station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone

- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- How hidden problems are handled
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
What else we do in Selling
Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Around Selling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
Floor joint sealing around Selling
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Selling Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
