How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Staplecross
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
In a village or hamlet like Staplecross, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Somewhere like Staplecross needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
