Floor joint sealing in Ashingdon
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Ashingdon, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Ashingdon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Ashingdon is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What else we do in Ashingdon
Floor joint sealing in Ashingdon: local notes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Hockley station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like King Edmund School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Andrew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
