Floor joint sealing in Monkhams
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 have gaps opening between the floor and skirting and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can put it right.
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.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Monkhams
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
For landlords with property near Highams Park station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Questions from Monkhams
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Monkhams?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Monkhams?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Monkhams is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Floor joint sealing around Monkhams
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
As a London address, Monkhams can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Wells Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Monkhams is about 1 mile north of Woodford, in Greater London. From the centre of Monkhams to the outskirts, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, Monkhams among them. Our London page covers work nearby (10 miles or so).
Here we cover the IG8, IG9 and E4 postcode area for floor joint sealing. Local streets include Oak Lane, Wood Lane and Mill Lane, all of which we cover. With the A121 close by, Monkhams is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places we cover for floor joint sealing include Woodford Wells (1 mile east), Friday Hill (1 mile west), Woodford (1 mile south), Buckhurst Hill (1 mile north-east) and Chingford Hatch (1 mile west).

Around Monkhams
We work in homes and buildings around Woodford Green Preparatory School, The Highams Park and Trinity Catholic High School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Highams Park station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are The Epping Forest Museum (1.3 miles north) and Claybury Hospital (2.1 miles south-east). Not far away are Highams Park Lake and Pole Hill.
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. 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 for homes in Monkhams.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
