Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Upper Hardres
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 so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Older homes in small places like Upper Hardres often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

New homes and floors in Upper Hardres
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.
For landlords with property near Bekesbourne station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Hardres, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
