Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
About our floor joint sealing in Littlestone-on-Sea
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you have worn sealant at door thresholds and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds alike.
Older homes in small places like Littlestone-on-Sea 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 as standard.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Littlestone-on-Sea
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

When to call us in Littlestone-on-Sea
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Schools such as The Marsh Academy are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Around Littlestone-on-Sea, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Littlestone-on-Sea, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
