Floor joint sealing in Herne Hill, done properly
Across Herne Hill, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and chipped and open joints in warehouse 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a job in Herne Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not paint over silicone
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In a flat in Herne Hill, 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.
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.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Herne Hill
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Letting a property close to North Dulwich station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

- The address or postcode of the job

Floor joint sealing in Herne Hill: local notes
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. 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 Judith Kerr Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Herne Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
