How we quote for floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Teston
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. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Teston, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

FAQs for Teston
Will you come out to Teston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Teston for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Teston is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Teston, 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Around Teston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Floor joint sealing around Teston
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same 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 Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Wateringbury station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Wateringbury Church of England Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
