Our applicators work in Elm Park on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Elm Park
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Common call-outs are for dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and tiled floors with no room to move, on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. 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.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour agreed with you before work begins

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
What we do, step by step
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. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Floor joint sealing in Elm Park: local notes
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. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For landlords with property near Emerson Park station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as St Nicholas Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Elm Park is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
