What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like Hackney Marshes, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hackney Marshes
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.

Hackney Marshes: your questions answered
I let a flat near Lea Bridge station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Hackney Marshes in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Hackney Marshes is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common problems we fix in Hackney Marshes
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Rented homes near Lea Bridge station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Why act early in Hackney Marshes
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Hackney Marshes, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Joints and finishes in Hackney Marshes homes
Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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 snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
If you look after a building such as Kingsmead Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like The Risen Christ and All Souls are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
