Questions from Astwood
Can you do floor joint sealing in Astwood?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Astwood is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kempston Hardwick station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

For landlords 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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Astwood
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For landlords with property near Kempston Hardwick station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
- The length of the guarantee
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Astwood needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a small place like Astwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
