Ardleigh Heath Floor Joint Sealing
Professional floor joint sealing in and around Ardleigh Heath, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Floor joint sealing in Ardleigh Heath
Across Ardleigh Heath, 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. Common call-outs are for failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and failed joint filler in concrete floors, across concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors.
In a village or hamlet like Ardleigh Heath, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ardleigh Heath and everywhere else we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Questions from Ardleigh Heath
Is Ardleigh Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Manningtree station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere as small as Ardleigh Heath, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
