How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Stick Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
Floor joint sealing in Stick Hill, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Somewhere as small as Stick Hill, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
New homes and floors in Stick Hill
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a small place like Stick Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Stick Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stick Hill?
Yes, Stick Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hever station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Stick Hill
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Rented homes near Hever station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
