Common questions in Writtle
I let a flat near Chelmsford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Writtle?
Yes. Writtle is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Writtle?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Writtle
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. Common call-outs are for failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Writtle, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Writtle is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When to call us in Writtle
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Schools such as Writtle Infant School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
