Questions from Stowting Common
Do you cover smaller places like Stowting Common?
Yes. Stowting Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Landlord and commercial work in Stowting Common
If you manage several properties in or around Stowting Common, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stowting Common
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Around Stowting Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing in Stowting Common: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Stowting Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
