DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Floor joint sealing in St Helier, done properly
Across St Helier, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. Typical jobs include grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and floor edges that trap water and grime, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

Floor joint sealing in St Helier: local notes
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
St Helier is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For landlords with property near Sutton Common station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in St Helier
Do you work for landlords with property near Sutton Common station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in St Helier?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Common problems we fix in St Helier
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you look after a building such as Tweeddale Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
