For landlords and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Greengate
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We are often asked to deal with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Greengate
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not 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 snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
If you look after a building such as Southern Road Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Greengate is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Jobs in Greengate get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Greengate is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work. For nearby work, see our London page.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Greengate
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
If you let a flat or house near West Ham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.

FAQs for Greengate
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Greengate?
Parking in Greengate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is Greengate in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Greengate is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Greengate?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a London area like Greengate, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
