About our floor joint sealing in Merton
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. We are often asked to deal with open joints around bathroom floor edges and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds.
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, in Merton and beyond.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Merton as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Merton?
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Community buildings like St John The Divine are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. In Merton, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What floor joint sealing looks like in Merton
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 Haydons Road station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Merton Abbey Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Merton questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Merton?
Parking in Merton, as in most of London, takes a little 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 Haydons Road station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlord and commercial work in Merton
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
