How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Upper Bush, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Upper Bush
Across Upper Bush, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Older homes in small places like Upper Bush often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

FAQs for Upper Bush
I let a flat near Cuxton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Upper Bush in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Upper Bush is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor and we will quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.

Floor joint sealing in Upper Bush: local notes
Floors around Medway 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.
Letting a property close to Cuxton station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Upper Bush?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a building such as Cuxton Community Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
