Common questions in Church End
Do you cover smaller places like Church End?

Is Church End in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Church End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

What sealant work can’t fix

- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Church End
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Letting agents and landlords in Church End can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
When to call us in Church End
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Andrew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
