Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Temple
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 open joints that fill with dirt and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Temple, 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Temple
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Before booking anyone

- Is VAT in the price?

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Temple: your questions answered
Is Temple in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Temple is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Temple?
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.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
Landlord and commercial work in Temple
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: 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.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Floor joint sealing in Temple: local notes
Across Buckinghamshire, 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.
Schools such as Bisham Church of England Academy are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Marlow station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
