Floor joint sealing in New Eltham, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and open joints that fill with dirt, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in New Eltham
Do you cover New Eltham for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and New Eltham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near New Eltham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Eltham
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. In a flat in New Eltham, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

New homes and floors in New Eltham
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like All Saints Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near New Eltham station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What we’re called out for in New Eltham
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
As a London address, New Eltham can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
