About our floor joint sealing in Durley Street
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Around Durley Street, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Durley Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Common problems we fix in Durley Street
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Managing a site like Wyvern Technology College? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Durley Street
Can you do floor joint sealing in Durley Street?
Yes, Durley Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Durley Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. In a small place like Durley Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
