Floor joint sealing in Great Dunmow, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Great Dunmow, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

FAQs for Great Dunmow
Is Great Dunmow in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Dunmow is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Dunmow?
Yes, Great Dunmow is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Great Dunmow is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Great Dunmow can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
If you manage several properties in or around Great Dunmow, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges. In a smaller place like Great Dunmow, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in Great Dunmow
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Great Dunmow
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Schools such as Dunmow St Mary's Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured
