- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like The Willows 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.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Floor joint sealing in The Willows, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Somewhere as small as The Willows, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around The Willows can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.

Do you need floor joint sealing in The Willows?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
