Floor joint sealing in Throwley Forstal
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. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Around Throwley Forstal, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Throwley Forstal and across Kent.

Common questions in Throwley Forstal
Is Throwley Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across 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 Selling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
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.

What else we do in Throwley Forstal
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Throwley Forstal
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Community buildings like Church of St Michael and All Angels are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What guarantee comes with the work
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
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.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Structural movement or subsidence
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Floor joint sealing in Throwley Forstal: local notes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Why it’s worth doing now in Throwley Forstal
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Throwley Forstal, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
