Advice
How we handle floor joint sealing in Hanwell
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors.
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.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Hanwell
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St Mellitus are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Around Hanwell

Nearby you’ll also find Ealing Hospital (under half a mile west) and Gunnersbury Park House - Large Mansion (2.3 miles east). Not far away are Middle Lake and Castlebar Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Do not paint over silicone
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

Questions from Hanwell
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hanwell?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hanwell station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Hanwell?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Hanwell
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In a flat in Hanwell, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
