Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Sheering
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Work in a small place like Sheering just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Sheering and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sheering, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Joints and finishes in Sheering homes
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hatfield Heath Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Sawbridgeworth station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Sheering questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Sheering in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Sheering 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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
