Floor joint sealing in Lower Upnor, 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. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Upnor, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

New homes and floors in Lower Upnor
Across Medway, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Strood station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Chattenden Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Lower Upnor, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Common problems we fix in Lower Upnor
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Community buildings like St Philip & St James are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long the guarantee is
