Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Small Hythe
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 are often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and gaps at thresholds between rooms, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Small Hythe often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Small Hythe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Floor joint sealing in Small Hythe: local notes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Small Hythe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
If you are in Small Hythe and need floor joint sealing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Landlord and commercial work in Small Hythe
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What we are called out for in Small Hythe
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Managing a site like Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Small Hythe?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Yes, we are fully insured.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
