Joints and finishes in Merton Park homes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Merton Park is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near South Merton station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Merton Park Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Floor joint sealing in Merton Park, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. We’re often asked to deal with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, across concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
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 failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
