Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Little Chart
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We are often asked to deal with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, across wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
Somewhere as small as Little Chart, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Common problems we fix in Little Chart
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Community buildings like St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
