The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Greensted Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Greensted Green
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
In a village or hamlet like Greensted Green, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Look at floor joints each spring
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we are called out for in Greensted Green
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you look after a building such as The Ongar Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

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 before they need a bigger repair. Around Greensted Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Greensted Green questions
Is Greensted Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Greensted Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Greensted Green?
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.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
