Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Shipley Bridge
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Somewhere as small as Shipley Bridge, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Shipley Bridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Shipley Bridge
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Gatwick Airport station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Forge Wood Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Church of St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Common questions in Shipley Bridge
I let a flat near Gatwick Airport station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Shipley Bridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
When can I walk on the floor?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Look at floor joints each spring
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
