About our floor joint sealing in Puddledock
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about gaps at thresholds between rooms and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Floor joint sealing around Puddledock
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
As a London address, Puddledock can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Puddledock
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For landlords with property near Edenbridge station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has

- Whether VAT is included
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Why act early in Puddledock
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Puddledock questions
I let a flat near Edenbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Puddledock?
Yes, Puddledock is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Puddledock, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
