About our floor joint sealing in Hayes
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. Common call-outs are for grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
When to call us in Hayes
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
As a London address, Hayes can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hayes
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Hayes & Harlington station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Hayes questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hayes?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hayes is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hayes?
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.

What else we do in Hayes
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Hayes. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
