What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Ivy Chimneys
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you’re dealing with open joints around bathroom floor edges and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, we can help, on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Around Ivy Chimneys, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, 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 send us an email.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Ivy Chimneys
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Ivy Chimneys Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
When to call us in Ivy Chimneys
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Ivy Chimneys, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Ivy Chimneys questions
Do you cover Ivy Chimneys for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ivy Chimneys is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Ivy Chimneys?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ivy Chimneys
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 Ivy Chimneys, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
