About our floor joint sealing in Stockcross
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Typical jobs include concrete floor joints that have broken down and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Work in a small place like Stockcross just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Common questions in Stockcross
Will you come out to Stockcross?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stockcross
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stockcross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Stockcross, 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 start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Landlord and commercial work in Stockcross
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
