Your questions about floor joint sealing in Three Chimneys
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Headcorn station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Three Chimneys within the area you cover?
Yes, Three Chimneys is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Three Chimneys, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote

- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint

How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
