How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Out Elmstead, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Advice
How we handle floor joint sealing in Out Elmstead
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Somewhere as small as Out Elmstead, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Out Elmstead
I let a flat near Aylesham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Out Elmstead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Out Elmstead
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Giles, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Barham Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Aylesham station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Structural movement or subsidence
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
