What affects the quote in Kenley
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Floor joint sealing in Kenley, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Common call-outs are for worn sealant at door thresholds and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Kenley and beyond.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. In Kenley, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and finishes in Kenley homes
Floors around Greater London 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. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Managing a site like Harris Primary Academy Kenley? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Kenley is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Kenley: your questions answered
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Kenley?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you cover Kenley for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kenley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Why act early in Kenley
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a flat in Kenley, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
