Floor joint sealing in Alciston
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and tiled floors with no room to move.
For a small place like Alciston, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Alciston, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant is the better choice.

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

What else we do in Alciston
Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. Around Alciston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
