About our floor joint sealing in Rowly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Rowly, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Rowly, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.

What else we do in Rowly
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common questions in Rowly
I let a flat near Chilworth station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Rowly for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rowly is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Floor joint sealing around Rowly
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Glebelands School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you let a flat or house near Chilworth station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
