Floor joint sealing in Guildford, done properly
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Guildford. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are worn sealant at door thresholds and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Around a large town like Guildford, business units and warehouses have concrete floors with sawn joints that break down under traffic. Homes need the same attention on a smaller scale, from skirting joints to shower seals.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the amount of work.

- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
New homes and floors in Guildford
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandfield Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near London Road (Guildford) station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Church of St John the Evangelist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

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 flats, shops and offices in Guildford, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it’s often found late and is bigger to put right.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Guildford
