Floor joint sealing in Great Bentley
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. Common call-outs are for grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
For a new home in or near Great Bentley, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a job in Great Bentley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Great Bentley questions
Is Great Bentley within the area you cover?
Yes, Great Bentley is covered. 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.
Is Great Bentley in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Bentley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Around Great Bentley, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Great Bentley
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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 Great Bentley station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Great Bentley Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
