How we handle floor joint sealing in Godinton
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Godinton, 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Common questions in Godinton
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashford International station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Godinton for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Godinton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.

What else we do in Godinton
Do you need floor joint sealing in Godinton?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit to Godinton 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 clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
New homes and floors in Godinton
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Godinton Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
