Floor Joint Sealing in Monkey Street
Our applicators work in Monkey Street on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Monkey Street
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. If you have worn sealant at door thresholds and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Monkey Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Monkey Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

When to call us in Monkey Street
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Monkey Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How long before the joint can take traffic?

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
