How we handle floor joint sealing in Broad Ford
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Around Broad Ford, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

New homes and floors in Broad Ford
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.
Managing a site like Horsmonden Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Margaret, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Common problems we fix in Broad Ford
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Letting a property close to Marden station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- How the colour is chosen
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Broad Ford: your questions answered
I let a flat near Marden station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Broad Ford for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Broad Ford is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Broad Ford?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
