- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Floor joint sealing in Lumley, done properly
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Common call-outs are for skirting caulk that keeps splitting and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
For a small place like Lumley, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Around Lumley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Landlord and commercial work in Lumley
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

What we’re called out for in Lumley

- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves

Lumley questions
Is Lumley within the area you cover?
Yes, Lumley is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Lumley for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lumley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
