Specialist floor joint sealing for Flishinghurst: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Flishinghurst
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 in a matching colour. We’re often asked to deal with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Flishinghurst, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

Common problems we fix in Flishinghurst
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you look after a building such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
