Floor & skirting joints in Alfold, Surrey
Floor joints in Alfold need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
How we handle floor joint sealing in Alfold
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If you have perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Alfold, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common questions in Alfold
Is Alfold in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Alfold is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is floor joint sealing in Alfold guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Alfold needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
