Floor joint sealing in Knox Bridge
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Somewhere as small as Knox Bridge, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Knox Bridge
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges.
Common questions in Knox Bridge
Is Knox Bridge in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Knox Bridge is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Knox Bridge?
Yes. Knox Bridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
