It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Managing a site like Trottiscliffe Church of England Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Floor joint sealing in Trottiscliffe
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help, on skirting boards, commercial floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Older homes in small places like Trottiscliffe often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. In a small place like Trottiscliffe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Trottiscliffe
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Questions from Trottiscliffe
Do you cover Trottiscliffe for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Trottiscliffe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Trottiscliffe?
Yes, Trottiscliffe is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Advice
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
