Floor joint sealing in Surrey: how it works

Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors.

  1. We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
  2. Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
  3. The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
  4. A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

How we quote

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

New homes and floors across Surrey

In Surrey, floor joint sealing work takes in new homes, older houses and commercial units, in Guildford, Woking and Camberley and well beyond. The common thread is movement: every joint has to allow for it.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in Surrey.

Guildford: For landlords with property near London Road (Guildford) station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St John the Evangelist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How we quote for floor joint sealing

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Access and height
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What we need to know

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Where the job is, and your postcode

For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods

Commercial floors

In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.

Tiled floors

When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.

Signs you need floor joint sealing

Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.

People usually contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
  • Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
  • Threshold joints that have opened or worn
  • Open joints that fill with dirt

Should I try it myself first?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What happens if it’s left?

Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job.

What your quote should include

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • How hidden problems are handled
  • What the cure time is
