Joints and finishes in Keynor Estate homes
Floors around West Sussex 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 Chichester station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Floor joint sealing in Keynor Estate, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you are dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Keynor Estate, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keynor Estate questions
Is Keynor Estate within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Chichester station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. 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 work begins.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What affects the quote in Keynor Estate
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
When to call us in Keynor Estate
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sidlesham Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Keynor Estate, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
