Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Floor joint sealing in Sheldwich Lees
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you have gaps at thresholds between rooms and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds alike.

Questions from Sheldwich Lees
Will you come out to Sheldwich Lees?
Yes. Sheldwich Lees 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.
Is Sheldwich Lees in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Sheldwich Lees is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Sheldwich Lees?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
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 to keep mop water out.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Sheldwich Lees
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Sheldwich Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Sheldwich Lees, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
