Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Lower Holloway
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. If you’re dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Floor joint sealing around Lower Holloway
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
As a London address, Lower Holloway can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For buildings such as St David, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Lower Holloway questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Lower Holloway?
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 work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Lower Holloway. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What we are called out for in Lower Holloway
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Rented homes near Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
