Landlord and commercial work in Kingsgate
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Floor joint sealing in Kingsgate, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and tiled floors with no room to move.
Older homes in small places like Kingsgate often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Kingsgate, access is usually 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.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Questions from Kingsgate
Do you work for landlords with property near Broadstairs station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Kingsgate in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kingsgate is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Kingsgate
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.
Rented homes near Broadstairs station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as Callis Grange Nursery and Infant School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like St Philip are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Kingsgate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
