- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
When to call us in Holloway Down
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a building such as The Jenny Hammond Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Holloway Down
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. If you are dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, on commercial floors, thresholds and skirting boards alike.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Holloway Down questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Holloway Down?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Holloway Down is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Holloway Down?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and the area is left clean. For a job in Holloway Down, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

New homes and floors in Holloway Down
