How we handle floor joint sealing in Ulcombe
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 concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are floor edges that trap water and grime and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Older homes in small places like Ulcombe often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Ulcombe
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Harrietsham station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Ulcombe Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What else we do in Ulcombe
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Why act early in Ulcombe
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a small place like Ulcombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Ulcombe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

Advice
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Ulcombe
I let a flat near Harrietsham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Ulcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Ulcombe is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What affects the quote in Ulcombe
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
If you’re in Ulcombe and need floor joint sealing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Ulcombe and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
