Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Gunville
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are concrete floor joints that have broken down and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Gunville often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Gunville?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
For buildings such as St. Mary's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Gunville, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Gunville
Can you do floor joint sealing in Gunville?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Gunville is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Gunville guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on 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, giving the floor room to move.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gunville can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
