Your questions about floor joint sealing in Great Tey
Do you work for landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Great Tey?
Yes, Great Tey is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Great Tey
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We are often asked to deal with gaps opening between the floor and skirting and floor edges that trap water and grime, across thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Great Tey often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Great Tey needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Tey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Great Tey?
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Barnabas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is chosen
