Floor & skirting joints in Caterham, Surrey
Floor joint sealing across Caterham and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Floor joint sealing in Caterham, done properly
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. 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 failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can help, on tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards alike.
Homes around Caterham move a little with the seasons, and skirting and floor joints show it first. Those joints need a flexible sealant, as rigid filler soon cracks out.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Caterham as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Caterham
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a family home in Caterham, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you cannot see, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We’re fully insured
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- 20+ years of sealant experience
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

New homes and floors in Caterham
Across Surrey, 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 let a flat or house near Caterham station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Hillcroft Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Sacred Heart Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Caterham questions
Do you cover Caterham for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Caterham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Caterham?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In Caterham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
