Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Breach Barns
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Typical jobs include cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors.
Around Breach Barns, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common questions in Breach Barns
I let a flat near Cheshunt station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Breach Barns within the area you cover?
Yes. Breach Barns is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
When to call us in Breach Barns
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For buildings such as Church of St Thomas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Breach Barns, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
