Floor joint sealing in Watt's Cross, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. Typical jobs include rigid edge joints in tiled floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Watt's Cross, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Floor joint sealing in Watt's Cross: local notes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Hildenborough Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Rented homes near Hildenborough station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Watt's Cross
Will you come out to Watt's Cross?
Yes. Watt's Cross 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.
I let a flat near Hildenborough station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
