Floor joint sealing in Little Chelsea
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Floor joint sealing around Little Chelsea
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. 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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Imperial Wharf station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Park Walk Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

What else we do in Little Chelsea
Why it’s worth doing now in Little Chelsea
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In a flat in Little Chelsea, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Questions from Little Chelsea
Do you work for landlords with property near Imperial Wharf station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Little Chelsea?
Parking in Little Chelsea, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
