Floor joint sealing in Greater London: how it works

Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are threshold joints that have opened or worn and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors.

  1. First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
  2. Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
  3. We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
  4. The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
  5. The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

How we quote

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Floor joint sealing across Greater London: local notes

In Greater London, floor joint sealing work takes in new homes, older houses and commercial units, from London, City of Westminster and Marylebone to the quieter places in between. Every joint needs to allow for movement.

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in Greater London, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.

London: Managing a site like Charles Dickens Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Elephant & Castle station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What we’re called out for in Greater London

An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
  • Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
  • Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
  • Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors

Surface by surface

Commercial floors

Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.

Thresholds

Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greater London

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.

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. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail.

What your quote should include

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • How long to leave it before use

Greater London: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?

Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Will I be able to paint over the new joint?

For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
