Floor joint sealing in Upper Harbledown, done properly
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 concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
For a small place like Upper Harbledown, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the quote in Upper Harbledown
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Upper Harbledown, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Upper Harbledown: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as St Edmund's School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Gabriel, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Common questions in Upper Harbledown
Will you come out to Upper Harbledown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
