Joints and finishes in Farringdon homes
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. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For buildings such as St John Clerkenwell, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Farringdon is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Schools such as Charterhouse Square School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

About our floor joint sealing in Farringdon
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about gaps opening between the floor and skirting and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Much of London’s new housing is flats 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Farringdon, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Farringdon: your questions answered
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Farringdon?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near Farringdon station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
