How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like South Earlswood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

About our floor joint sealing in South Earlswood
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening between the floor and skirting and tiled floors with no room to move.
Older homes in small places like South Earlswood often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

What we are called out for in South Earlswood
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Managing a site like Salfords Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
Floor joint sealing around South Earlswood
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.
If you let a flat or house near Earlswood (Surrey) station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Christ the King, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around South Earlswood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

South Earlswood questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is South Earlswood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover South Earlswood, along with the rest of our area.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
