Floor joint sealing in Great Lea Common
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Around Great Lea Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we are called out for in Great Lea Common
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Letting a property close to Reading Green Park station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Common questions in Great Lea Common
I let a flat near Reading Green Park station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Great Lea Common for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Great Lea Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
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.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.

What else we do in Great Lea Common
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Lea Common
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Lea Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Great Lea Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
