Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Biggin
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
In a village or hamlet like Biggin, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Biggin and everywhere else we cover.

Biggin questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tilbury Town station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Biggin within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Biggin?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Floor joint sealing around Biggin
Floors around Thurrock 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.
Managing a site like Tilbury Pioneer Academy? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Tilbury Town station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Biggin, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
When to call us in Biggin
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Comparing quotes
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Biggin, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We never seal over old sealant

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
