Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for Matching Green, backed by a one-year guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Matching Green?
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.

Matching Green: your questions answered
Is Matching Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Matching Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Sawbridgeworth station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you add a movement joint to 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.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
