How we handle floor joint sealing in Thorpe Cross
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. Typical jobs include floor edges that trap water and grime and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, across skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
For a small place like Thorpe Cross, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Thorpe Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Advice
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Thorpe Cross

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
