Floor & skirting joints in Westwood, Kent
Problem with your floor joints in Westwood? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Floor joint sealing in Westwood, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. Common call-outs are for gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Westwood, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Joints and finishes in Westwood homes
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Westwood: your questions answered
Do you cover Westwood for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Westwood is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Bekesbourne 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 will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Why act early in Westwood
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Westwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
