The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a job in Fant, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

About our floor joint sealing in Fant
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with floor edges that trap water and grime and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors alike.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Fant, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Joints and finishes in Fant homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Jubilee Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near East Farleigh station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Do not paint over silicone
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

What else we do in Fant
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
Why act early in Fant
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a smaller place like Fant, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime

For buildings such as Parish Church of St Andrew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Do you work on commercial floors?

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Fant?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
