Floor Joint Sealing in Aldington
Problem with your floor joints in Aldington? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Aldington
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Aldington, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Aldington
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.
If you look after a building such as Aldington Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like Church of St Martin are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Common questions in Aldington
Will you come out to Aldington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Ham Street station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Aldington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Aldington?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Rented homes near Ham Street station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Aldington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
