Floor & skirting joints in Wilmington, Kent
Floor joints in Wilmington need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Floor joint sealing in Wilmington
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Wilmington often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Joints and finishes in Wilmington homes
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 Crayford station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as Wilmington Grammar School for Girls, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Common problems we fix in Wilmington
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Barnabas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
