Common problems we fix in Downe
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Downe Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing in Downe, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and floor edges that trap water and grime.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Downe?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Downe
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Floors around Greater London 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.
If you let a flat or house near Chelsfield station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. As a London address, Downe can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
