Floor joint sealing around Rivenhall End
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rivenhall Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

About our floor joint sealing in Rivenhall End
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. Typical jobs include open joints that fill with dirt and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Somewhere as small as Rivenhall End, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. 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 small place like Rivenhall End, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work

Rivenhall End: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords with property near Witham station?

What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
