About our floor joint sealing in Sholing
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Homes around Sholing range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Sholing as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Sholing
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Around Sholing, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Sholing questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Sholing?
Yes, Sholing is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sholing station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can you add a movement joint to 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.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Sholing, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
