FAQs for Horseman Side
Is Horseman Side in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Horseman Side is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Brentwood station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Normally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Floor joint sealing in Horseman Side, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Work in a small place like Horseman Side just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. Around Horseman Side, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Community buildings like Church of St Paul are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Brentwood station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What we are called out for in Horseman Side
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you look after a building such as Drapers' Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
