Floor Joint Sealing in Bennett End
Our applicators work in Bennett End on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Bennett End
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We are often asked to deal with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Bennett End often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bennett End and across Buckinghamshire.

Common questions in Bennett End
Do you work for landlords with property near Saunderton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Bennett End in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bennett End is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When to call us in Bennett End
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Radnage Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What your quote should include

- Is the old sealant removed completely?

What floor joint sealing looks like in Bennett End
Floors around Buckinghamshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a small place like Bennett End, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Bennett End can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
