About our floor joint sealing in The Green
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Around The Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Green
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common questions in The Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cressing station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is The Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and The Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like The Green 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.
- 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
What floor joint sealing looks like in The Green
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Cressing Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you let a flat or house near Cressing station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
