How we handle floor joint sealing in Tonbridge
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We’re often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, across tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards.
In a town like Tonbridge, older houses sit alongside newer estates. Whether a house is brand new or a few years old, sealant and floor joints are often the first snags to show.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a job in Tonbridge, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Common problems we fix in Tonbridge
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a building such as New Beacon School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has

Tonbridge: your questions answered
I let a flat near Tonbridge station. Can you help?
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’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Tonbridge in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Tonbridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Tonbridge
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 let a flat or house near Tonbridge station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
