We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and floor edges that trap water and grime.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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.

What floor joint sealing looks like in St Lawrence Bay
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Lawrence Church Centre, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors

When to call us in St Lawrence Bay
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Rented homes near Southminster station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
