Floor joint sealing in Borstal
Across Borstal, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. If you’re dealing with failed joint filler in concrete floors and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can help.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Borstal, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Borstal and across Medway.

When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Borstal?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Managing a site like St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Common questions in Borstal
Is Borstal within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cuxton station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Borstal?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now. In an older home around Borstal, damp from a failed joint can get 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.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Borstal, 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.
- 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 and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
