Floor joint sealing in Chipstead
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. We’re often asked to deal with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
For a small place like Chipstead, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Chipstead: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Chipstead?
Yes. Chipstead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunton Green station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Chipstead, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Chipstead
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 Chipstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Floor joint sealing in Chipstead: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Dunton Green station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Amherst School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
