- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
How we handle floor joint sealing in Ecchinswell
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and tiled floors with no room to move.
In a village or hamlet like Ecchinswell, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What else we do in Ecchinswell
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Joints and finishes in Ecchinswell homes
Floors around West Berkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Ecchinswell and Sydmonton Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Church of St Lawrence, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Ecchinswell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
