Floor joint sealing in Knightsbridge
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
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.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Knightsbridge
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Advice
Questions from Knightsbridge
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Knightsbridge?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near London Victoria station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
New homes and floors in Knightsbridge
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Across Greater London, 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.
If you look after a building such as Hellenic College of London, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near London Victoria station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
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.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
When to call us in Knightsbridge
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For buildings such as Deutsche Evangelische Christuskirche, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
