Floor joint sealing in Longlands
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can put it right, on skirting boards, thresholds and concrete floor joints alike.
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 of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Longlands and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Longlands. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Longlands questions
I let a flat near New Eltham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is parking a problem for a job in Longlands?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Longlands?
We do. Our applicators work in Longlands.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards

New homes and floors in Longlands
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Schools such as Longlands Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Longlands is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Common problems we fix in Longlands
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
For buildings such as Christ Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
