DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hale
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
Somewhere as small as Hale, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. We fit backing where needed.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hale
Across Medway, 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 Kingfisher Community Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Gillingham (Kent) station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What else we do in Hale
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hale and across Medway. Several sites can be quoted together.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Hale?
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Common questions in Hale
Will you come out to Hale?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Hale in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Hale is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
