- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Kingsland is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Floor joint sealing in Kingsland
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Common questions in Kingsland
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Kingsland?
Parking in Kingsland, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you cover Kingsland for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kingsland is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Floor joint sealing in Kingsland: 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Dalston Junction station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
