- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Congelow
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. If you have threshold joints that have opened or worn and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Congelow often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Congelow as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Congelow
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Yalding station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Congelow?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Common problems we fix in Congelow
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints that fill with dirt
For buildings such as St Peter's and St Paul's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Congelow
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Congelow can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
