About our floor joint sealing in Kilndown
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We are often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, across concrete floor joints, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Kilndown, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Floor joint sealing in Kilndown: local notes
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.
Around Kilndown, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Around Kilndown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
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.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Kilndown, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
Common problems we fix in Kilndown
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For buildings such as Christ Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

What else we do in Kilndown
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Questions from Kilndown
Is Kilndown within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Kilndown?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kilndown is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
