Lower Bush Floor Joint Sealing
Problem with your floor joints in Lower Bush? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Floor joint sealing in Lower Bush, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for floor edges that trap water and grime and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Around Lower Bush, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lower Bush
Do you work for landlords with property near Cuxton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lower Bush?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in Lower Bush
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Bush, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Lower Bush, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Joints and finishes in Lower Bush homes
Floors around Medway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Cuxton Community Infant School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
