How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- The rough size of the job

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Ottinge
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Common call-outs are for gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
Work in a small place like Ottinge just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Ottinge questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ottinge?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ottinge is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Ottinge?
Yes, Ottinge is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Ottinge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Do you need floor joint sealing in Ottinge?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a building such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
