Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Richborough Port
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. Typical jobs include gaps at thresholds between rooms and open joints that fill with dirt, across wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
In a village or hamlet like Richborough Port, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Questions from Richborough Port
I let a flat near Thanet Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Richborough Port for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Richborough Port is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Richborough Port, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In a small place like Richborough Port, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
