How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a smaller place like North Weald Bassett, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Floor joint sealing in North Weald Bassett
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Common call-outs are for worn sealant at door thresholds and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds.
In and around North Weald Bassett, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in North Weald Bassett
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Andrew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why it’s worth doing now in North Weald Bassett
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. In a smaller place like North Weald Bassett, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Do not paint over silicone
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

What we are called out for in North Weald Bassett
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a building such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

North Weald Bassett questions
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in North Weald Bassett?
All our work, in North Weald Bassett and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover North Weald Bassett for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and North Weald Bassett is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Generally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
