Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Charlton
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
Work in a small place like Charlton just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Joints and finishes in Charlton homes
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Singleton CofE Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What else we do in Charlton
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
FAQs for Charlton
Is Charlton in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Charlton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Charlton?
All our work, in Charlton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Charlton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Charlton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Around Charlton, older homes often have timber in their 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. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We leave the area clean and tidy

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
