About our floor joint sealing in Brogdale
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Brogdale often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Brogdale, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brogdale can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Brogdale?
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Brogdale: your questions answered
Is Brogdale within the area you cover?
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 help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Brogdale?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you add a movement joint to 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 so the floor can move.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Brogdale
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Ospringe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
