Floor joint sealing for Sissinghurst and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Floor joint sealing in Sissinghurst
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and worn sealant at door thresholds, across commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Older homes in small places like Sissinghurst often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Sissinghurst, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Questions from Sissinghurst
Do you work for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Sissinghurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Sissinghurst?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Sissinghurst
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranbrook School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor

Do you need floor joint sealing in Sissinghurst?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you let a flat or house near Staplehurst station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
