How we handle floor joint sealing in Rush Green
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In Rush Green, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Rush Green
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you look after a building such as Rush Green Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Floor joint sealing in Rush Green: local notes
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 they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Augustine of Canterbury Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. As a London address, Rush Green can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
