How we handle floor joint sealing in Elstead
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt cannot get in. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Elstead, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

New homes and floors in Elstead
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Milford (Surrey) station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St James CofE Aided Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
What affects the quote in Elstead
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Elstead is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. In an older home around Elstead, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Elstead questions
Is Elstead within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
