FAQs for Seven Kings
Do you work for landlords with property near Seven Kings station?

Do you cover Seven Kings for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Seven Kings is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Floor joint sealing in Seven Kings
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for gaps opening between the floor and skirting and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, across tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards.
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 Seven Kings as anywhere.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Seven Kings
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Managing a site like Downshall Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Seven Kings station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

When to call us in Seven Kings
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Seven Kings is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Seven Kings. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
