Floor joint sealing in Kingsdown, done properly
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. If you are dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Kingsdown, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Kingsdown: your questions answered
Do you cover Kingsdown for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kingsdown is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Kingsdown?
Yes. Kingsdown is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Joints and finishes in Kingsdown 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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Kingsdown and Ringwould CofE Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Walmer station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Common problems we fix in Kingsdown
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. John the Evangelist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Kingsdown is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
