Joints and finishes in Silver Street 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

About our floor joint sealing in Silver Street
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Silver Street, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Silver Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Silver Street
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. We fit backing where needed.
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.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Silver Street?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
If you look after a building such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Silver Street
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Around Silver Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
