Floor joint sealing in Eastwood
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Homes around Eastwood range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Eastwood and across Southend-on-Sea.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.

What else we do in Eastwood
What we’re called out for in Eastwood
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St David's, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Floor joint sealing around Eastwood
Across Southend-on-Sea, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Southend Airport station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Heycroft Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit to Eastwood 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.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Around Eastwood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- One-year guarantee on every job

Common questions in Eastwood
I let a flat near Southend Airport station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Eastwood in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Eastwood is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
