About our floor joint sealing in Throwley
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Older homes in small places like Throwley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor

What we are called out for in Throwley
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Throwley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in Throwley
Do you cover Throwley for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Throwley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Throwley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Floor joint sealing in Throwley: 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Michael and All Angels are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
