Floor joint sealing in Great Thorness, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and concrete floor joints that have broken down, on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Work in a small place like Great Thorness just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Thorness, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Great Thorness?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Around Great Thorness, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Great Thorness questions
Is Great Thorness in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Great Thorness is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Thorness?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where are you based?

- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
