About our floor joint sealing in Poyle
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and people most often call us about chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Older homes in small places like Poyle often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Poyle
Do you work for landlords with property near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Poyle?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Poyle is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Joints and finishes in Poyle homes
Floors around Slough run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Thomas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Pippins School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. We fit backing where needed.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Poyle can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

When to call us in Poyle
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you let a flat or house near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. Somewhere like Poyle needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
