How we handle floor joint sealing in Malden Rushett
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Malden Rushett
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Malden Rushett?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chessington South station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Joints and finishes in Malden Rushett homes
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Chessington South station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. As a London address, Malden Rushett can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Chessington Community College, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Malden Rushett.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
