What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

Where are you based?

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Chilworth?
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a building such as Chilworth CofE (Aided) Infant School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
New homes and floors in Chilworth
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Chilworth station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like Church of St Thomas are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
