Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Bentley Heath
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bentley Heath and everywhere else we cover.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Structural movement or subsidence
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

FAQs for Bentley Heath
Is parking a problem for a job in Bentley Heath?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is Bentley Heath in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bentley Heath is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
If you’re in Bentley Heath and need floor joint sealing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Bentley Heath.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Floor joint sealing around Bentley Heath
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
