Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hextable
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and people most often call us about skirting caulk that keeps splitting and worn sealant at door thresholds.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Hextable, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Joints and finishes in Hextable homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Swanley station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like St Peter are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Hextable
Is Hextable within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Hextable in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hextable is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hextable
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
If you look after a building such as Hextable Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Hextable is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
