About our floor joint sealing in Boxted Cross
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Boxted Cross. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are worn sealant at door thresholds and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Work in a small place like Boxted Cross just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Boxted Cross, 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 looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

Boxted Cross: your questions answered
Is Boxted Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, Boxted Cross is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Colchester station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you seal over the 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.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the quote in Boxted Cross
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

- How we’d reach the joints

What else we do in Boxted Cross
Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boxted Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Boxted Cross customers choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

What we’re called out for in Boxted Cross
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Letting a property close to Colchester station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Boxted Cross
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Boxted St Peter's Church of England School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
