How we handle floor joint sealing in Bearsted
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Common call-outs are for tiled floors with no room to move and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Bearsted, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Bearsted questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bearsted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Bearsted?
Yes, Bearsted is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Why act early in Bearsted
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Around Bearsted, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Tidy, careful work

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a job in Bearsted, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Bearsted
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Schools such as Thurnham Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
