Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We are often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and concrete floor joints that have broken down, on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
For a small place like Puttock's End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Around Puttock's End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What else we do in Puttock's End
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
When to call us in Puttock's End
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Schools such as Takeley Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it.

- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
