DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our floor joint sealing in Romney Street
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have open joints around bathroom floor edges and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can put it right.
Around Romney Street, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height

- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Romney Street: your questions answered
Is Romney Street in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Romney Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shoreham (Kent) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. 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.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Romney Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Common problems we fix in Romney Street
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Community buildings like Church of Saint Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Romney Street
If you manage several properties in or around Romney Street, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
