Floor joint sealing in Norton Heath, done properly
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Norton Heath, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

When to call us in Norton Heath
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Joints and finishes in Norton Heath homes
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.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blackmore Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Questions from Norton Heath
Can you do floor joint sealing in Norton Heath?
Yes, Norton Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ingatestone station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
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.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
