Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for homes and businesses in Tye Green and across Essex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels

When it is not the sealant

- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

How we handle floor joint sealing in Tye Green
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We are often asked to deal with failed joint filler in concrete floors and floor edges that trap water and grime, on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Tye Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Tye Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Is it worth trying it myself?

Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Tye Green
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Newport (Essex) station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as St Paul's Mission Room, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tye Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

When to call us in Tye Green
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Managing a site like Wimbish Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
