What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Leybourne
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Older homes in small places like Leybourne often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Joints and finishes in Leybourne homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Lunsford Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What we’re called out for in Leybourne
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you let a flat or house near West Malling station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Leybourne
I let a flat near West Malling station. Can you help?

Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Leybourne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leybourne
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Older cottages and farmhouses around Leybourne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
