Floor joint sealing in Tunstall
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with open joints around bathroom floor edges and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Tunstall just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

New homes and floors in Tunstall
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.
Rented homes near Sittingbourne station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What else we do in Tunstall
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Common problems we fix in Tunstall
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tunstall Church of England (Aided) Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Tunstall, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
