Our applicators work in Ruislip Gardens on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Ruislip Gardens
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are concrete floor joints that have broken down and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.

Related advice
What we are called out for in Ruislip Gardens
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
New homes and floors in Ruislip Gardens
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near South Ruislip station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Ruislip Gardens is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Ruislip Gardens questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Ruislip Gardens?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is Ruislip Gardens in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Ruislip Gardens is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ruislip Gardens
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Ruislip Gardens.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We are fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
