How we handle floor joint sealing in Appspond
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and people most often call us about gaps at thresholds between rooms and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Around Appspond, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the quote in Appspond
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
What we are called out for in Appspond
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you look after a building such as Marlborough Science Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- What preparation is included

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Appspond, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
