Floor joint sealing in Hillborough, done properly
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 skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
For a new home in or near Hillborough, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Where we work in Hillborough
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. In an older home around Hillborough, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Fully insured
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

- The product the joint needs
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Hillborough 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.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Hillborough
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Hillborough for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Hillborough is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Schools such as Reculver Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
