About our floor joint sealing in Thorpe Green
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about worn sealant at door thresholds and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Thorpe Green, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When to call us in Thorpe Green
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
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.

- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thorpe Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- We never seal over old sealant
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Thorpe Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Thresholds

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Thorpe Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Common questions in Thorpe Green
Is Thorpe Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Thorpe Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Virginia Water station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.

Floor joint sealing in Thorpe Green: local notes
Across Surrey, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

If you let a flat or house near Virginia Water station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
