Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Redbridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Redbridge
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and tiled floors with no room to move, across tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Around Redbridge, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Redbridge?
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you let a flat or house near Redbridge station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Redbridge, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
