Hinxton Floor Joint Sealing
Our applicators work in Hinxton on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. In a small place like Hinxton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.

About our floor joint sealing in Hinxton
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Around Hinxton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What else we do in Hinxton
When to call us in Hinxton
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary and St John the Evangelist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinxton
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

FAQs for Hinxton
Will you come out to Hinxton?
Yes, Hinxton 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.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hinxton?
Yes, Hinxton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Around Hinxton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
