What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
About our floor joint sealing in Horley
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Horley. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Towns like Horley have older streets and newer estates side by side. In a newer home, sealant and floor joints are normally among the first things to need attention.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When to call us in Horley
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Wilfrid's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is

The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
