Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Tankerton
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt cannot get in. If you are dealing with concrete floor joints that have broken down and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around Tankerton, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Questions from Tankerton
Do you cover smaller places like Tankerton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Whitstable station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Tankerton?
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints that fill with dirt
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. We fit backing where needed.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Floor joint sealing in Tankerton: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Whitstable station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and the area is left clean. A visit to Tankerton 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Why act early in Tankerton
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a smaller place like Tankerton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
