New Addington Floor Joint Sealing
Problem with your floor joints in New Addington? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
How we handle floor joint sealing in New Addington
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Common call-outs are for gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, across commercial floors, skirting boards 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 New Addington and beyond.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in New Addington. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

What else we do in New Addington
Common problems we fix in New Addington
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rowdown Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

New Addington questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in New Addington?
Parking in New Addington, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you cover New Addington for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and New Addington is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Joints and finishes in New Addington 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 snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Community buildings like St Edward King and Confessor are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. New Addington is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
