- Failed joint filler in concrete floors

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Claygate
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
In smaller places like Claygate, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Claygate questions
Will you come out to Claygate?
Yes. Claygate is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Claygate station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Floor joint sealing in Claygate: local notes
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Claygate Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Claygate station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Around Claygate, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Claygate is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Claygate
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
