If you’re dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, on tiled floors, thresholds and commercial floors alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Charlwood: your questions answered
Will you come out to Charlwood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Ifield station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Charlwood
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Charlwood Village Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Charlwood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
