Floor joint sealing in Allen's Green
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Allen's Green. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. If you’re dealing with floor edges that trap water and grime and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help.
Around Allen's Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Allen's Green: your questions answered
Is Allen's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Allen's Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Allen's Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Allen's Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
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.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Allen's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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 smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Allen's Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What floor joint sealing looks like in Allen's Green
