Floor joint sealing in Shalford
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Shalford. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you’re dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help.
Around Shalford, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Shalford as everywhere else we work.

Floor joint sealing around Shalford
Across Surrey, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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 church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Shalford station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Shalford: your questions answered
I let a flat near Shalford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Shalford?
Yes, Shalford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
When to call us in Shalford
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Managing a site like Shalford Infant School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Shalford, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Shalford

What else we do in Shalford
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
