New homes and floors in Hainault
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like St Francis of Assisi are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Seven Kings station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like Limes Farm Junior School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Hainault
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can put it right.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Hainault, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit to Hainault is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hainault
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do

- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Hainault questions
Is Hainault within the area you cover?
Yes, Hainault is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Hainault in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hainault is part of that. 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.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
