How we handle floor joint sealing in Almshouse Green
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can put it right, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors alike.
Work in a small place like Almshouse Green just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Almshouse Green and across Essex.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

New homes and floors in Almshouse Green
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Hedingham School and Sixth Form, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Common questions in Almshouse Green
Do you cover Almshouse Green for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Almshouse Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Almshouse Green?
All our work, in Almshouse Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Almshouse Green?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
In and around Almshouse Green, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Almshouse Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
