About our floor joint sealing in Purley
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in Purley as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Purley as everywhere else we work.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Purley, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Purley
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Purley is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Floor joint sealing in Purley: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For buildings such as St Swithun's, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Purley station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Common questions in Purley
Do you cover Purley for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Purley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Purley?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
