About our floor joint sealing in Kennington
Across Kennington, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. Common call-outs are for skirting that has pulled away from the floor and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and skirting boards.
For a new home in or near Kennington, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a smaller place like Kennington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Floor joint sealing around Kennington
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Kennington Church of England Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
FAQs for Kennington
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Will you leave a mess?

My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.

No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. In a smaller place like Kennington, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
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 play a part.
