Floor joint sealing in Ashdon, done properly
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Typical jobs include dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps at thresholds between rooms, across tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
For a small place like Ashdon, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Joints and finishes in Ashdon homes
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ashdon Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What’s near Ashdon

What we’re called out for in Ashdon
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:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Common questions in Ashdon
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Ashdon?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Ashdon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Ashdon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Ashdon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
