About our floor joint sealing in Plashet
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. Typical jobs include dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Plashet
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Plashet?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you work for landlords with property near Woodgrange Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you work in Plashet?
Yes. We cover Plashet and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Plashet. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What floor joint sealing looks like in Plashet
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Plashet School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Woodgrange Park station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
When to call us in Plashet
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Community buildings like Church of St Barnabas are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
