Standlake: your questions answered
Do you cover Standlake for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Standlake is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Standlake?
All our work, in Standlake and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Standlake?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
About our floor joint sealing in Standlake
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds.
Around Standlake, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

Common problems we fix in Standlake
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Standlake Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Standlake can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.

Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
