How we handle floor joint sealing in Great Burstead
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
For a small place like Great Burstead, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Great Burstead
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Billericay station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's Catholic Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Great Burstead
What happens if it’s left?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
