New homes and floors in North Ockendon
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like The James Oglethorpe Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Ockendon station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in North Ockendon
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, across wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Questions from North Ockendon
Can parking be tricky for a visit in North Ockendon?
Parking in North Ockendon, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ockendon station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you come to North Ockendon?
Yes. We work in North Ockendon and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in North Ockendon
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in North Ockendon, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
