Floor joint sealing in Cheriton, done properly
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Cheriton, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Cheriton
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of All Souls, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Folkestone West station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as All Soul's Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly 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. A visit to Cheriton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
