What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Rochester Riverside
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Rochester Riverside. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Homes around Rochester Riverside range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
What affects the quote in Rochester Riverside
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why act early in Rochester Riverside
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a smaller place like Rochester Riverside, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Rochester Riverside is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

FAQs for Rochester Riverside
Is Rochester Riverside in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Rochester Riverside is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Rochester Riverside?
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.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Rochester Riverside?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Rochester Riverside
Floors around Medway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rochester Riverside Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
