About our floor joint sealing in Coleman's Hatch
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Common call-outs are for failed joint filler in concrete floors and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
For a small place like Coleman's Hatch, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Coleman's Hatch
Is Coleman's Hatch in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Coleman's Hatch is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Coleman's Hatch?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Coleman's Hatch
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Community buildings like Holy Trinity Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
