Specialist floor joint sealing for Kippington: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Kippington
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you are dealing with gaps at thresholds between rooms and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Kippington range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kippington and across Kent.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Floor joint sealing in Kippington: 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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Sevenoaks station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Kippington
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Schools such as St Thomas' Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Kippington: your questions answered
Is Kippington in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kippington is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is Kippington within the area you cover?
Yes, Kippington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Kippington?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
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.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. A visit to Kippington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
