Common questions in Smith's Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Smith's Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.

Floor joint sealing in Smith's Green
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 with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Typical jobs include chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors.
Somewhere as small as Smith's Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Smith's Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Floor joint sealing around Smith's Green
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Stansted Airport station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Smith's Green
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Around Smith's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
