How we handle floor joint sealing in Kingston
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
In and around Kingston, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
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 normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Kingston, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Questions from Kingston
I let a flat near Woburn Sands station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Kingston for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kingston is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help 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.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
What we’re called out for in Kingston

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Tiled floors with no room to move

Floor joint sealing in Kingston: local notes
Across Milton Keynes, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Monkston Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
