How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Thrupp, the journey is planned in advance: 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 looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Floor joint sealing in Thrupp
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, on tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Thrupp, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Thrupp
Do you cover smaller places like Thrupp?
Yes. Thrupp is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Oxford Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Thrupp
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Community buildings like Church of Holy Cross are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
