Your questions about floor joint sealing in Locksbottom
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Locksbottom?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is Locksbottom in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Locksbottom is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.

What else we do in Locksbottom
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Why act early in Locksbottom
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Floor joint sealing in Locksbottom: local notes
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
As a London address, Locksbottom can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Darrick Wood Infant & Nursery School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. 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 start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
