About our floor joint sealing in Baker's Cross
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, on tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Baker's Cross often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Questions from Baker's Cross
Is Baker's Cross in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Baker's Cross is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Baker's Cross?
All our work, in Baker's Cross and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Common problems we fix in Baker's Cross
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Managing a site like Cranbrook School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What affects the quote in Baker's Cross
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Why it’s worth doing now in Baker's Cross
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Baker's Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
