Graveney Floor Joint Sealing
Floor joints in Graveney need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Graveney
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Graveney. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you’re dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and skirting boards alike.
For a small place like Graveney, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Graveney
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Graveney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Graveney needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Floor joint sealing in Graveney: local notes
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graveney Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Graveney
Can you do floor joint sealing in Graveney?
Yes, Graveney is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Graveney?
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 the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
