Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Garlinge
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and worn sealant at door thresholds.
In smaller places like Garlinge, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Floor joint sealing around Garlinge
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Garlinge Primary School and Nursery, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Margate station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St James, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Landlord and commercial work in Garlinge
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Garlinge, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Around Garlinge, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit to Garlinge is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Are you an approved applicator?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
