Floor joint sealing in Newtown, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and floor edges that trap water and grime.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Newtown, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is

Landlord and commercial work in Newtown
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Newtown
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Community buildings like St John and St Stephen are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. For a job in Newtown, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

If you let a flat or house near Reading station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like New Town Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
