About our floor joint sealing in Chigwell Row
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. If you are dealing with worn sealant at door thresholds and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help, on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Work in a small place like Chigwell Row just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Floor joint sealing around Chigwell Row
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Chigwell Row Infant School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Chadwell Heath station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chigwell Row, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Landlords and letting agents in Chigwell Row can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What we are called out for in Chigwell Row
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How hidden problems are handled

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
