What floor joint sealing looks like in Chaldon
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as St Peter and St Paul CofE Infant School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Chaldon
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help.
Around Chaldon, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When to call us in Chaldon
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
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.

What affects the quote in Chaldon
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Around Chaldon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Chaldon: your questions answered
Is Chaldon in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Chaldon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Chaldon within the area you cover?
Yes. Chaldon 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.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
