How we handle floor joint sealing in Shepway
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds alike.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Shepway, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Shepway and across Kent.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shepway
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Shepway, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Shepway is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.

When to call us in Shepway
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
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenfields Community Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
