- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Little Chesterford
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you are dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Little Chesterford, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Floor joint sealing around Little Chesterford
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Managing a site like Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Little Chesterford questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Great Chesterford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Little Chesterford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
