Floor joint sealing in Chattenden, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
For a small place like Chattenden, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Chattenden
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as Chattenden Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Common questions in Chattenden
Do you cover smaller places like Chattenden?
Yes, Chattenden is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Chattenden?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chattenden is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll tell you when we quote.
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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Floor joint sealing around Chattenden
Across Medway, 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Bishop Gundulph Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Strood station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Chattenden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Do not paint over silicone
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Chattenden can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
