Floor joint sealing across Kent: what to expect

Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. We’re often asked to deal with floor edges that trap water and grime and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

  1. First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
  2. We remove what’s in the joint now.
  3. We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
  4. We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
  5. We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

New homes and floors across Kent

Our floor joint sealing work across Kent covers developers, homeowners and businesses, from Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to the quieter places in between. The common thread is movement: every joint has to allow for it.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in Kent, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. Kent includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.

Maidstone: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Borough Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as St Philip's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
  • Keep dirt out of the joints
  • Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
  • Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early

Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.

Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
  • Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
  • Concrete repairs beyond the joint

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need sealing
  • The type of sealant required
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • How much there is to do

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • The rough size of the job
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.

How the job changes by surface

Wet room and bathroom floors

Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.

Skirting boards

Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.

Common problems we fix in Kent

When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
  • Gaps at thresholds between rooms
  • Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
  • Failed joint filler in concrete floors

Kent questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Which products do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

Will it make a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Will I be able to paint over the new joint?

Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.

How long does floor joint sealing take?

Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

How long before the joint can take traffic?

We’ll tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
