Floor joint sealing in Dedham
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. Typical jobs include skirting that has pulled away from the floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across concrete floor joints, skirting boards and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Dedham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dedham as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Dedham questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Manningtree station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Dedham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Floor joint sealing around Dedham
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Manningtree station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
