About our floor joint sealing in Heston
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 in a colour to suit. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in Heston as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New homes and floors in Heston
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. 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 building such as Westbrook Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Leonard's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Heston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Southall station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Heston?
Parking in Heston, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you work in Heston?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Heston.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Why deal with it now?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Heston, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What affects the quote in Heston
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

What else we do in Heston
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
What we are called out for in Heston
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
As a London address, Heston can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
