Floor joint sealing in Picketts Lock
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and concrete floor joints that have broken down, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and tiled floors.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in Picketts Lock as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Picketts Lock as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Look out for these signs:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints' Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
