Floor Joint Sealing in Howegreen
Floor joint sealing across Howegreen and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Floor joint sealing in Howegreen, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Around Howegreen, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Howegreen
I let a flat near North Fambridge station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Howegreen in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Howegreen is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
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.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Howegreen, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
