About our floor joint sealing in Great Wigborough
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We’re often asked to deal with failed joint filler in concrete floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Somewhere as small as Great Wigborough, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Great Wigborough and everywhere else we cover.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Great Wigborough, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare

What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Great Wigborough?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What sealant 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 causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Normally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Great Wigborough
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around Great Wigborough, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Community buildings like Church of St Stephen are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In a small place like Great Wigborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
