Floor joint sealing near Sandwich Bay Estate

Floor joint sealing in Sandwich Bay Estate

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 skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about skirting caulk that keeps splitting and worn sealant at door thresholds.

In a village or hamlet like Sandwich Bay Estate, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
  • Check skirting joints after the heating season
  • Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
  • Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early

Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.

Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.

When it isn’t the sealant

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Structural movement or subsidence
  • Tiles that have lifted or broken
  • Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Thresholds
  • Commercial floors
  • Wet room & bathroom floors
  • Concrete floor joints
  • Tiled floors
  • Skirting boards

How the visit works

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Sandwich Bay Estate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
  2. Old material is removed from the joint.
  3. We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
  4. We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
  5. We check the joints and explain the aftercare.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Choosing a sealant specialist

Why it’s worth doing now in Sandwich Bay Estate

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 a small place like Sandwich Bay Estate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What you get with us

  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • We’re fully insured
  • Homes, businesses and hotels
  • Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Sandwich Bay Estate questions

Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you cover smaller places like Sandwich Bay Estate?

Yes. Sandwich Bay Estate is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How soon can the floor be mopped?

Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.

What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?

Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.

Why not just use caulk?

Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
