Floor joint sealing in Aylesham, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have threshold joints that have opened or worn and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, we can put it right.
In and around Aylesham, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Aylesham questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Aylesham in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Aylesham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a smaller place like Aylesham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a smaller place like Aylesham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

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.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Aylesham
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints that fill with dirt
If you look after a building such as Aylesham Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
