DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Parkgate
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We are often asked to deal with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, across commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Parkgate often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Parkgate
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Parkgate?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Parkgate?
Yes. Parkgate is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Parkgate, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Joints and finishes in Parkgate homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Parkgate, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When to call us in Parkgate
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Homewood School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
