About our floor joint sealing in Wickford
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. If you are dealing with tiled floors with no room to move and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right.
In a town like Wickford, skirting and floor joints open up as homes settle and floors move with the seasons. Those joints need a flexible sealant, as rigid filler soon cracks out.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Wickford and across Essex.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on how much there is to do. In Wickford, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

What else we do in Wickford
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wickford

Do you need floor joint sealing in Wickford?
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you let a flat or house near Wickford station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Wickford
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.
For buildings such as St Andrew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oakfield Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
