How we handle floor joint sealing in Upper Ifield
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Around Upper Ifield, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Ifield can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Do you remove the old sealant?

What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Upper Ifield, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use furniture pads near skirting
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.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
