About our floor joint sealing in Bishopsbourne
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for worn sealant at door thresholds and floor edges that trap water and grime, across tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Bishopsbourne, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Bishopsbourne, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Bishopsbourne
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
Common problems we fix in Bishopsbourne
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Bishopsbourne questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Bishopsbourne?
Yes, Bishopsbourne is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
