About our floor joint sealing in Milton Common
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Older homes in small places like Milton Common often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Milton Common and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere as small as Milton Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Milton Common questions
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Milton Common?
All our work, in Milton Common and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Milton Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Milton Common?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For buildings such as Church of St Helen, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
Landlord and commercial work in Milton Common
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
