Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Floor joint sealing in Hollingbourne
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
For a small place like Hollingbourne, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Hollingbourne, 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.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hollingbourne
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Hollingbourne Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
When to call us in Hollingbourne
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For landlords with property near Hollingbourne station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
