Floor joint sealing in Goodnestone, done properly
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Around Goodnestone, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Goodnestone
Do you cover Goodnestone for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Goodnestone is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Goodnestone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
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.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. 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.
When to call us in Goodnestone
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Letting a property close to Adisham station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Goodnestone, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Goodnestone
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Cross, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Goodnestone Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
