Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Great Saling
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Typical jobs include open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Great Saling, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Saling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Questions from Great Saling

Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What we’re called out for in Great Saling
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting.
