About our floor joint sealing in Driver's End
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We’re often asked to deal with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across concrete floor joints, tiled floors and commercial floors.
Work in a small place like Driver's End just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Common questions in Driver's End
Is Driver's End in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Driver's End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Driver's End within the area you cover?
Yes. Driver's End 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.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
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.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before

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. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Why act early in Driver's End
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Driver's End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
