How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Floor joint sealing in Caring
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. If you’re dealing with floor edges that trap water and grime and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can help, on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and skirting boards alike.
Somewhere as small as Caring, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Caring, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
New homes and floors in Caring
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 let a flat or house near Bearsted station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Nicholas's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Around Caring
In Caring, that means homes and buildings near The Orchard Spot Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Bearsted station, roughly 1.5 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are The Mall Maidstone (3.1 miles west) and Laundry Museum (1.4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Detling Hill.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Caring, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Caring questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Caring?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Caring is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Caring?
Yes. Caring is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
When can I walk on the floor?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
