Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Charing
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you are dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can help.
Homes around Charing range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we’re called out for in Charing
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Charing: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Charing?
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.
Is Charing in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Charing is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Charing
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Charing station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Charing Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Charing is about 6 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN27 area, we can carry out floor joint sealing at your property. Charing is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, about 39 miles away.
We cover every part of TN27 for floor joint sealing. If you need floor joint sealing at a property on The High Street, Market Place and Station Road or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job.

Around Charing
Around Charing, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Spuckles and Kennelling Woods and King's Head Public House, among other places. There’s a railway station in Charing itself: Charing station. Well-known places in the area include Coldbridge Castle (4.3 miles west).
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a smaller place like Charing, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a job in Charing, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
