- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
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. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you are dealing with gaps opening between the floor and skirting and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Tye Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Common questions in Tye Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cressing station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Tye Green?
Yes. Tye Green 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.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Tye Green?
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Letting a property close to Cressing station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Floor joint sealing in Tye Green: local notes
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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 church, hall or community building such as St Barnabas, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Cressing Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
