When to call us in Sevenoaks
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
About our floor joint sealing in Sevenoaks
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help.
Homes around Sevenoaks move a little with the seasons, and skirting and floor joints show it first. Those joints need a flexible sealant, as rigid filler soon cracks out.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal

Why act early in Sevenoaks
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In Sevenoaks, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Questions from Sevenoaks
Do you cover Sevenoaks for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Sevenoaks is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Sevenoaks station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Sevenoaks
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
For floor joint sealing in Sevenoaks, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
New homes and floors in Sevenoaks
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Sevenoaks Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Sevenoaks station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit in Sevenoaks needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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.
