About our floor joint sealing in Marden Ash
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. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Work in a small place like Marden Ash just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Marden Ash
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Community buildings like St James are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Questions from Marden Ash
Do you cover smaller places like Marden Ash?
Yes. Marden Ash is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Marden Ash?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Marden Ash is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we’ll quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
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 bead keeps up with the movement.
The process
You do not 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, depending on the length of joint in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Marden Ash, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare

Advice
New homes and floors in Marden Ash
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Chipping Ongar Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What else we do in Marden Ash
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
