About our floor joint sealing in Milton
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints that fill with dirt and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
In and around Milton, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In a smaller place like Milton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a job in Milton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Look at floor joints each spring
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Common problems we fix in Milton
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a building such as St Bernard's High School and Arts College, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
