Your questions about floor joint sealing in Langham
Is Langham within the area you cover?
Yes, Langham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Langham for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Langham is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Langham?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
About our floor joint sealing in Langham
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Langham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we’re called out for in Langham
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Langham Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Langham, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

Why act early in Langham
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Langham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
