How we handle floor joint sealing in Glassenbury
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Common call-outs are for open joints around bathroom floor edges and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older homes in small places like Glassenbury often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Glassenbury, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Questions from Glassenbury
Is floor joint sealing in Glassenbury guaranteed?
All our work, in Glassenbury and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Glassenbury within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why it’s worth doing now in Glassenbury
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Glassenbury can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
