Floor joint sealing in Burnham-on-Crouch
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. Typical jobs include failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and concrete floor joints that have broken down, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Homes around Burnham-on-Crouch range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Burnham-on-Crouch is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Burnham-on-Crouch, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

If you look after a building such as Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Questions from Burnham-on-Crouch
Do you work for landlords with property near Burnham-On-Crouch station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Burnham-on-Crouch?
Yes, Burnham-on-Crouch 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 remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not paint over silicone
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
When to call us in Burnham-on-Crouch
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Look out for any of the following:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you let a flat or house near Burnham-On-Crouch station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
