East Sheen questions
Do you cover East Sheen for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and East Sheen is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Mortlake station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How we handle floor joint sealing in East Sheen
Across East Sheen, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in East Sheen and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In East Sheen, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in East Sheen
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you let a flat or house near Mortlake station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Places near East Sheen
What else we do in East Sheen
New homes and floors in East Sheen
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like All Saints' Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. East Sheen is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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.
