Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
About our floor joint sealing in Deal
Across Deal, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are worn sealant at door thresholds and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Shops and business units around Deal have floors that see a lot of traffic. Joints at thresholds and in tiled or concrete floors need resealing before the edges start to break up.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Deal and across Kent.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a job in Deal, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
When to call us in Deal
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you let a flat or house near Deal station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Large cracks that need a surveyor

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Deal
I let a flat near Deal station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is floor joint sealing in Deal guaranteed?
All our work, in Deal and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Deal?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Deal.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What affects the quote in Deal
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.

Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a family home in Deal, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you cannot see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Deal
Across Kent, 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 St Saviour's, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Castle Community College, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
