About our floor joint sealing in Mill Meads
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you are dealing with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Mill Meads and beyond.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a London area like Mill Meads, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

FAQs for Mill Meads
I let a flat near West Ham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Mill Meads in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Mill Meads is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Joints and finishes in Mill Meads homes
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. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.

What we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
Surface by surface
Thresholds

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.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Mill Meads

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
