How we handle floor joint sealing in Platt
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. Typical jobs include gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Platt, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Platt as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Platt
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Advice
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Platt
Can you do floor joint sealing in Platt?
Yes, Platt is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Platt?
Yes, Platt is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re 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.
