DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Tilbury
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Homes around Tilbury range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Tilbury questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Tilbury Town station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Tilbury within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Floor joint sealing around Tilbury
Floors around Thurrock run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like The Gateway Academy? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Tilbury Town station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In a smaller place like Tilbury, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Tilbury
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
