We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Floor joint sealing in Boughton Monchelsea
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
For a small place like Boughton Monchelsea, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Around Boughton Monchelsea, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work
- Fully insured
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Boughton Monchelsea
I let a flat near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Boughton Monchelsea?
Yes. Boughton Monchelsea is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Joints and finishes in Boughton Monchelsea homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near East Farleigh station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
