Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Greatstone-on-Sea
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice, which is not made to be painted. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right, on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints alike.
For a small place like Greatstone-on-Sea, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
Do you need floor joint sealing in Greatstone-on-Sea?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Community buildings like St Peter's are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Greatstone-on-Sea, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

New homes and floors in Greatstone-on-Sea
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 Greatstone Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Greatstone-on-Sea: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Greatstone-on-Sea?
Yes, Greatstone-on-Sea is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Greatstone-on-Sea?
All our work, in Greatstone-on-Sea and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Greatstone-on-Sea?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Greatstone-on-Sea, along with the rest of our area.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
What affects the quote in Greatstone-on-Sea
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Greatstone-on-Sea can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
