About our floor joint sealing in Ockham
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. Typical jobs include chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Somewhere as small as Ockham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

New homes and floors in Ockham
Across Surrey, 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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Horsley station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Ripley Court School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Common questions in Ockham
Do you work for landlords with property near Horsley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ockham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ockham is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Ockham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Look at floor joints each spring
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
When to call us in Ockham
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Community buildings like All Saints' Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
