How we handle floor joint sealing in Cheam
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Common call-outs are for skirting that has pulled away from the floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why act early in Cheam
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Cheam. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not paint over silicone
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
What we’re called out for in Cheam
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Cheam is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Joints and finishes in Cheam homes
Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Letting a property close to Cheam station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Glaisdale School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Cheam: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Cheam station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Cheam for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cheam is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
