How we handle floor joint sealing in Furzedown
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. Typical jobs include concrete floor joints that have broken down and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Furzedown and across Greater London.

Floor joint sealing in Furzedown: local notes
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graveney School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as St Paul's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a London area like Furzedown, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Furzedown
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Furzedown?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tooting station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Furzedown
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Furzedown, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

What affects the quote in Furzedown
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Furzedown
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
As a London address, Furzedown can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
