About our floor joint sealing in Lydd-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. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
In a village or hamlet like Lydd-on-Sea, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lydd-on-Sea and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Lydd-on-Sea, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Lydd-on-Sea
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Greatstone Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Lydd-on-Sea?
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
Look out for any of the following:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For buildings such as St Peter's, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Before booking anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
