How we handle floor joint sealing in Old Town
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right.
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 Old Town and beyond.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Floor joint sealing in Old Town: local notes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For landlords with property near West Croydon station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. As a London address, Old Town can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Questions from Old Town
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Old Town?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near West Croydon station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Old Town?
Yes, we do. Old Town is part of the area we cover.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.

When to call us in Old Town
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a building such as The Minster Nursery and Infant School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In Old Town, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
