About our floor joint sealing in Reading Street
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. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and floor edges that trap water and grime.
For a small place like Reading Street, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Floor joint sealing around Reading Street
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Reading Street, 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.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

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 in most rooms. In a small place like Reading Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Reading Street
Is Reading Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Reading Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Reading Street in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Reading Street is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Reading Street
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
The most common problems we see are:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
