How we handle floor joint sealing in Little Portugal
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are threshold joints that have opened or worn and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Little Portugal and beyond.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Little Portugal?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
If you look after a building such as Platanos College, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing in Little Portugal: 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Community buildings like St Stephen's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Little Portugal is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
