Cock Clarks: your questions answered
Is Cock Clarks in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cock Clarks is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near South Woodham Ferrers station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Normally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
About our floor joint sealing in Cock Clarks
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you are dealing with threshold joints that have opened or worn and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Cock Clarks often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. In a small place like Cock Clarks, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.

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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
