What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Newingreen, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Floor joint sealing in Newingreen, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you’re dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can put it right, on tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
For a small place like Newingreen, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Newingreen questions
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Newingreen for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newingreen is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Newingreen
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Newingreen
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Managing a site like Lympne Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing around Newingreen

Community buildings like Pedlinge Chapel are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Westenhanger station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
