About our floor joint sealing in Great Bromley
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. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Great Bromley, 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 comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Great Bromley
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Community buildings like Church of St George are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- What the cure time is
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
