Floor joint sealing in Crofton Park, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and tiled floors with no room to move, we can help.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Crofton Park: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Crofton Park?
Yes, Crofton Park is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Crofton Park station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we are called out for in Crofton Park
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
As a London address, Crofton Park can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Crofton Park
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Letting a property close to Crofton Park station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Stillness Infant School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Why act early in Crofton Park
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
How the visit works
