Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Portfield
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 so water and dirt cannot get in. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
In and around Portfield, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. In a smaller place like Portfield, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Questions from Portfield
Do you cover smaller places like Portfield?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Portfield?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Portfield is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
