Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hellman's Cross
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about skirting caulk that keeps splitting and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
For a small place like Hellman's Cross, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t 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 few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Hellman's Cross, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting

Other services in Hellman's Cross
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
