What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy

Floor joint sealing in Pollards Hill
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We are often asked to deal with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
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, in Pollards Hill as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Pollards Hill and across Greater London.

Floor joint sealing around Pollards Hill
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 snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Schools such as Kensington Avenue Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Pollards Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What else we do in Pollards Hill

Pollards Hill questions
Is Pollards Hill in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Pollards Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Norbury station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it 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 Pollards Hill. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
What we are called out for in Pollards Hill
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Letting a property close to Norbury station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
