DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Floor joint sealing in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about gaps at thresholds between rooms and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Hampstead Garden Suburb
I let a flat near Brent Cross West station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Hampstead Garden Suburb?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger 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.
Schools such as The Henrietta Barnett School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Hampstead Garden Suburb is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the amount of work.

- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why it’s worth doing now in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Hampstead Garden Suburb, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
