What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. In Margate, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Floor joint sealing in Margate, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
In a town like Margate, skirting and floor joints open up as homes settle and floors move with the seasons. Those joints need a flexible sealant, as rigid filler soon cracks out.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Margate and across Kent. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking in a town like Margate is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Margate
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Salmestone Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Margate station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Margate
I let a flat near Margate station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is floor joint sealing in Margate guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you work in Margate?
We do. Our applicators work in Margate, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What else we do in Margate
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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 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, then guaranteed for a year.
