Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Havering-atte-Bower
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Older homes in small places like Havering-atte-Bower often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Havering-atte-Bower and everywhere else we cover.

New homes and floors in Havering-atte-Bower
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Dame Tipping Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Harold Wood station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Don’t paint over silicone
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.

How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Older cottages and farmhouses around Havering-atte-Bower can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
