When to call us in Luddesdown
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Community buildings like Parish 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.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Luddesdown
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 commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
For a small place like Luddesdown, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Luddesdown, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Questions from Luddesdown
Is Luddesdown within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sole Street station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Luddesdown, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Meopham School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Sole Street station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
