Joints and finishes in Ashtead homes
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like St George's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Parsons Mead School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Structural movement or subsidence

Ashtead questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashtead station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ashtead?
Yes, Ashtead is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Ashtead?
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Rented homes near Ashtead station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
