What we’re called out for in Dunn Street
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Schools such as Swingate Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
Floor joint sealing in Dunn Street, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Somewhere as small as Dunn Street, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Dunn Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Dunn Street questions
Do you cover Dunn Street for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Dunn Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Dunn Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Dunn Street?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
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.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Floor joint sealing in Dunn Street: local notes
Floors around Medway 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 Rainham (Kent) station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St Peter, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
