Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Westwood
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
In smaller places like Westwood, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Westwood
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like Parish Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Westwood
Do you cover smaller places like Westwood?
Yes. Westwood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Margate station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours with out-of-hours work where needed.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Floor joint sealing in Westwood: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Margate station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: 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 will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.

When something else is needed

Why it’s worth doing now in Westwood
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In an older home around Westwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Westwood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
