About our floor joint sealing in Ivy Hatch
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Typical jobs include skirting that has pulled away from the floor and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors.
Older homes in small places like Ivy Hatch often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ivy Hatch
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ivy Hatch can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We never seal over old sealant

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Ivy Hatch
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

What we are called out for in Ivy Hatch
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Community buildings like Ivy Hatch Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether you can choose the colour
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Ivy Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What else we do in Ivy Hatch
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

Where are you based?

Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Joints and finishes in Ivy Hatch homes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
