When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

Floor joint sealing in Totham Hill, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, we can help.
For a small place like Totham Hill, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What else we do in Totham Hill
What floor joint sealing looks like in Totham Hill
Across Essex, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Great Totham Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Totham Hill
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Rented homes near Witham station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Do you cover smaller places like Totham Hill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. In a small place like Totham Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
