About our floor joint sealing in Great Waltham
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. If you are dealing with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Great Waltham, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

When to call us in Great Waltham
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Rented homes near Beaulieu Park station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
New homes and floors in Great Waltham
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of SS Mary and Laurence are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chelmer Valley High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

FAQs for Great Waltham
Is Great Waltham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Great Waltham?
Yes, Great Waltham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Great Waltham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Great Waltham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We are fully insured
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
