Yalding questions
Will you come out to Yalding?
Yes, Yalding is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Yalding in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Yalding is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Yalding?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For buildings such as St Peter's and St Paul's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if the job turns out different
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Yalding, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Joints and finishes in Yalding homes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Yalding station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
