Ottershaw Floor Joint Sealing
Floor joints in Ottershaw need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Floor joint sealing in Ottershaw
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, we can help, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Ottershaw, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Landlord and commercial work in Ottershaw
If you manage several properties in or around Ottershaw, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In an older home around Ottershaw, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Floor joint sealing around Ottershaw
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Christ Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ottershaw Christchurch Church of England Junior School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Ottershaw
Is Ottershaw in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ottershaw is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Ottershaw?
Yes. Ottershaw is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Ottershaw, 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
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.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Ottershaw
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For landlords with property near Chertsey station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
