Floor joint sealing for Shottenden and the surrounding area: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.

- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Floor joint sealing in Shottenden, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We’re often asked to deal with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Somewhere as small as Shottenden, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Shottenden, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.

Related advice
When to call us in Shottenden
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Look out for any of the following:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shottenden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We’re fully insured
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors

Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.
