About our floor joint sealing in Ockley
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
For a small place like Ockley, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Ockley, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Common problems we fix in Ockley
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Rented homes near Ockley station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying

What else we do in Ockley
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Ockley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
