Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Lower Earley
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Typical jobs include failed joint filler in concrete floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, across thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
In smaller places like Lower Earley, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Floor joint sealing in Lower Earley: local notes
Floors around Wokingham run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Earley station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Radstock Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

FAQs for Lower Earley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Earley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lower Earley?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

What else we do in Lower Earley
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Common problems we fix in Lower Earley
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Trinity Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. For a job in Lower Earley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
