Common questions in Swanton
Do you cover smaller places like Swanton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wateringbury station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
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.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What do you need from me for a quote?

What does floor joint sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Floor joint sealing in Swanton
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 with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We’re often asked to deal with floor edges that trap water and grime and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Swanton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor

Where we work in Swanton
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

New homes and floors in Swanton
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Dunstan, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Mereworth Community Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Swanton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
