About our floor joint sealing in Cooper Street
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across commercial floors, tiled floors and thresholds.
Somewhere as small as Cooper Street, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, 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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Questions from Cooper Street
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Cooper Street in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cooper Street is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Cooper Street
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Schools such as Sir Roger Manwood's School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
How we quote for floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.

- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.

What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cooper Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
