Floor joint sealing in Faversham, done properly
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Shops and business units around Faversham 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Questions from Faversham
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Faversham?
All our work, in Faversham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Faversham?
Yes, Faversham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and the area is left clean. In Faversham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy household in Faversham they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in Faversham
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Letting a property close to Faversham station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Faversham
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary Magdalene are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Ethelbert Road Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
