Why act early in Audley End
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Audley End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Floor joint sealing in Audley End, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We’re often asked to deal with caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
For a small place like Audley End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Audley End
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
For buildings such as United Reformed Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
