Do you need floor joint sealing in Matching?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Letting a property close to Sawbridgeworth station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Matching
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Matching, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Matching
Do you cover smaller places like Matching?
Yes, Matching is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Matching in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Matching is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Matching
New homes and floors in Matching
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, 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.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. Around Matching, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
