How we handle floor joint sealing in Great Braxted
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 with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you are dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Great Braxted, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Great Braxted and everywhere else we cover.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and commercial work in Great Braxted
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Great Braxted: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Witham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Great Braxted within the area you cover?
Yes. Great Braxted is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Great Braxted?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Floor joint sealing in Great Braxted: local notes
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Witham station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
