Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints that fill with dirt

How we handle floor joint sealing in Stede Quarter
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. Typical jobs include rigid edge joints in tiled floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Stede Quarter, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Stede Quarter and across Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
