Why it’s worth doing now in Horam
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horam can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Horam, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Typical jobs include caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across concrete floor joints, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Around Horam, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we will give you each time.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
What else we do in Horam
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Horam
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Horam?
All our work, in Horam and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Horam within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Horam?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
