How we handle floor joint sealing in Mortimer
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you’re dealing with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a new home in or near Mortimer, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Mortimer
Is Mortimer in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Mortimer is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Mortimer?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Mortimer
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mortimer St John's C.E. Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Mortimer Methodist Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Homes in smaller places like Mortimer can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
