DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Milton-next-Gravesend
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Homes around Milton-next-Gravesend range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Milton-next-Gravesend
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Schools such as St John's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Milton-next-Gravesend
Floors around Kent 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 landlords with property near Gravesend station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Milton-next-Gravesend
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gravesend station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Milton-next-Gravesend within the area you cover?
Yes. Milton-next-Gravesend is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where are you based?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will confirm how long when we quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a smaller place like Milton-next-Gravesend, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
