Floor joint sealing in Fairbourne Heath, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
For a small place like Fairbourne Heath, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Fairbourne Heath?
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Floor joint sealing around Fairbourne Heath
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like All Saints Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fairbourne Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
