Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
About our floor joint sealing in Southborough
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. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Southborough, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Southborough as everywhere else we work.

What affects the quote in Southborough
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Southborough
I let a flat near High Brooms station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Southborough?
Yes. Southborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Southborough?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. Around Southborough, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Southborough
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near High Brooms station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as Southborough CofE Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
