What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Shellwood Cross needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How we handle floor joint sealing in Shellwood Cross
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds.
In a village or hamlet like Shellwood Cross, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Shellwood Cross?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

What else we do in Shellwood Cross
Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shellwood Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
