What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs

Floor joint sealing in Swanley Village
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. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
For a small place like Swanley Village, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods

Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Swanley Village
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Swanley station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swanley Village, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Don’t paint over silicone
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Swanley Village: your questions answered
Is Swanley Village within the area you cover?
Yes, Swanley Village is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Swanley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What we are called out for in Swanley Village

People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Downsview Community Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
