About our floor joint sealing in Cambridge Heath
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 in a matching colour. If you have gaps opening between the floor and skirting and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Cambridge Heath and across Greater London.

What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why Cambridge Heath customers choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely

- Neat joints and a tidy finish

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
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.
When to call us in Cambridge Heath
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Community buildings like St James-the-Less are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Cambridge Heath
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Cambridge Heath?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Cambridge Heath?
Yes, Cambridge Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Cambridge Heath
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Schools such as Mowlem Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. As a London address, Cambridge Heath can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
