Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
About our floor joint sealing in Shere
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you’re dealing with worn sealant at door thresholds and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can put it right.
Around Shere, 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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shere can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Shere, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote

Joints and finishes in Shere homes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Gomshall station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Church of St James, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
