Floor joint sealing in Moortown
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. If you are dealing with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can put it right, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds alike.
Older homes in small places like Moortown often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Moortown as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Moortown
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
The most common problems we see are:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Mary's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which colour the sealant will be

Moortown: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Moortown guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Moortown in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Moortown is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Moortown
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Moortown, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY sealant or a professional job?
