What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Kingsdown, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Kingsdown
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Kingsdown, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 floor joint sealing looks like in Kingsdown
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Catherine are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as The Sittingbourne School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kingsdown, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. 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 us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job

What we’re called out for in Kingsdown
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
For landlords with property near Teynham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?

Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
