What floor joint sealing looks like in Smeeth
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.
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. If you look after a building such as Smeeth Community Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Smeeth
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We’re often asked to deal with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and gaps at thresholds between rooms, across thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Around Smeeth, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Smeeth can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, 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 remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What we are called out for in Smeeth
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
If you let a flat or house near Westenhanger station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
