Floor joint sealing in Stapleford Abbotts, done properly
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and tiled floors with no room to move.
Older homes in small places like Stapleford Abbotts often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Stapleford Abbotts and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Stapleford Abbotts, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Common questions in Stapleford Abbotts
Do you work for landlords with property near Gidea Park station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stapleford Abbotts
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stapleford Abbotts can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Floor joint sealing in Stapleford Abbotts: local notes
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Gidea Park station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stapleford Abbotts Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
