DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Strood
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Typical jobs include open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Around Strood, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Strood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare

When to call us in Strood
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
Why it’s worth doing now in Strood
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. In a small place like Strood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- We are fully insured

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
