Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: 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. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Aldgate.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Floor joint sealing in Aldgate, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common questions in Aldgate
Can you help a landlord with a rental near London Fenchurch Street station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Aldgate?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
When can I walk on the floor?
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 remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Aldgate
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to London Fenchurch Street station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as The Aldgate School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

What we’re called out for in Aldgate
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Aldgate is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
