Floor joint sealing across Medway: what to expect

Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. Typical jobs include gaps at thresholds between rooms and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, across commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds.

You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job.

We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
We remove what’s in the joint now.
The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

What you will pay

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. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Where we work in Medway

Our floor joint sealing work across Medway covers developers, homeowners and businesses, in Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester and well beyond. Every joint needs to allow for movement.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in Medway. Parts of Medway are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.

Gillingham: Rented homes near Gillingham (Kent) station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Aftercare is simple:

Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep caulk for dry, still joints only

Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.

Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.

Common problems we fix in Medway

Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout

How we quote for floor joint sealing

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

The old material and how stubborn it is
How many areas need sealing
Which sealant suits the joint
Working hours on commercial sites

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

Any previous sealing or DIY work
Whether it’s a home or a business
A few photos by email, if you can
Where the job is, and your postcode

We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.

How the job changes by surface

Concrete floor joints

Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.

Tiled floors

Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.

Why act early?

Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Medway

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.

Will I be able to paint over the new joint?

If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured.

How long before the joint can take traffic?

Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.

Do the sealants smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
