New Zealand: your questions answered
Will you come out to New Zealand?
Yes. New Zealand is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in New Zealand?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and New Zealand is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in New Zealand
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like New Zealand just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

What we’re called out for in New Zealand
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For landlords with property near Aylesbury station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Floor joint sealing in New Zealand: local notes
Floors around Buckinghamshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Elmhurst School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter's, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
New Zealand is about 1 mile west of Elmhurst, in Buckinghamshire. Across the HP19 area, we cover floor joint sealing for homes and businesses. New Zealand is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we work. Oxford is on our list too, around 19 miles away.
Every address in HP19 and HP20 is within our area for floor joint sealing, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Dunsham Lane, Drayton Road and Cannock Road, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover for floor joint sealing include Elmhurst (1 mile east), Aylesbury (1 mile south), Watermead (1 mile north-east), Quarrendon Estate (1 mile west) and California (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover High Wycombe (14 miles south), Chesham (12 miles south-east), Buckingham (14 miles north-west), Amersham (14 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (7 miles south) and Haddenham (6 miles south-west).
Landmarks near New Zealand
Typical jobs here are in homes near The New Zealand pub, Buckinghamshire UTC and The PACE Centre, among other places. The nearest railway station is Aylesbury station, roughly 0.8 miles south. Nearby you’ll also find Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (under half a mile south) and Dinton Castle (3.8 miles south-west).
Why act early in New Zealand
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 New Zealand can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Check the joints after the first winter. 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 and are harder to clean out.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like New Zealand, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
