Floor joint sealing in Buttsole
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Around Buttsole, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Buttsole
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.
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What we are called out for in Buttsole
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Managing a site like Eastry Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.

Common questions in Buttsole
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?

Do you cover Buttsole for floor joint sealing?

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Buttsole?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Buttsole needs a little journey planning: 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 clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.

Before we arrive
