About our floor joint sealing in Clare Market
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes.

- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare

Advice
Common problems we fix in Clare Market
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
As a London address, Clare Market can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be

What else we do in Clare Market
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
FAQs for Clare Market
Can you do floor joint sealing in Clare Market?
Yes, Clare Market is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near London Charing Cross station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
When can I walk on the floor?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Clare Market?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Floor joint sealing around Clare Market
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Enon Chapel, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near London Charing Cross station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
