How we handle floor joint sealing in Great Burgh
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Common call-outs are for caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and floor edges that trap water and grime, across commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
For a new home in or near Great Burgh, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Great Burgh: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Great Burgh?
Yes, Great Burgh is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tattenham Corner station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Great Burgh is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Why act early in Great Burgh
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. In an older home around Great Burgh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely

Floor joint sealing in Great Burgh: local notes
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shawley Community Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like St Mark are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Tattenham Corner station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
