Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Chavey Down
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you’re dealing with threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds alike.
Somewhere as small as Chavey Down, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a small place like Chavey Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

- The rough size of the job

Common problems we fix in Chavey Down
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For buildings such as St Martin's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Questions from Chavey Down
I let a flat near Martins Heron station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Chavey Down?
Yes, Chavey Down is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
