How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Kingswood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

About our floor joint sealing in Kingswood
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Kingswood, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Kingswood
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
For buildings such as Kingswood Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
Kingswood: your questions answered
Is Kingswood within the area you cover?
Yes, Kingswood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Kingswood for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kingswood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Kingswood and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
New homes and floors in Kingswood
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.
If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Kingswood Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why act early in Kingswood
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Kingswood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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.
Why us?
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
