Floor & skirting joints in Bradwell, Essex
Our applicators work in Bradwell on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Floor edges that trap water and grime

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Bradwell
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you’re dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Bradwell often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Floor joint sealing around Bradwell
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Alec Hunter Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Bradwell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we are called out for in Bradwell
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For landlords with property near Braintree Freeport station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What affects the quote in Bradwell
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. In a small place like Bradwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
