How we handle floor joint sealing in Temple Ewell
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Temple Ewell. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Temple Ewell, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Temple Ewell: your questions answered
Do you cover Temple Ewell for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Temple Ewell is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Temple Ewell within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
The process
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 work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Temple Ewell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What else we do in Temple Ewell
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
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.
When to call us in Temple Ewell
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
