About our floor joint sealing in Albury
Across Albury, 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’re often asked to deal with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on commercial floors, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Work in a small place like Albury just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Albury, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

When to call us in Albury
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Helen, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

FAQs for Albury
Do you cover smaller places like Albury?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Albury?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Albury is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.

Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Albury, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
