About our floor joint sealing in Five Ashes
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. If you have perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Five Ashes, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Five Ashes needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
When to call us in Five Ashes
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Community buildings like Church of the Good Shepherd are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is

Do you remove the old sealant?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Five Ashes.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
