About our floor joint sealing in Sheldwich
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Work in a small place like Sheldwich just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Common questions in Sheldwich
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Sheldwich for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sheldwich is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Usually it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will tell you when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Joints and finishes in Sheldwich homes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sheldwich Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Sheldwich, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Do you need floor joint sealing in Sheldwich?
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
