Floor joint sealing in Hampton, done properly
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you are dealing with gaps at thresholds between rooms and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Hampton, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Hampton
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hampton?
Yes, Hampton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Hampton within the area you cover?
Yes. Hampton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.

Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

- 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.

Advice
Floor joint sealing around Hampton
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Hampton Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Hampton is about 2 miles west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Anywhere in CT6, we can carry out floor joint sealing at your property. Hampton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. Our Chelmsford page covers work nearby, about 37 miles away.

When to call us in Hampton
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hampton
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Homes in smaller places like Hampton can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
