Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors

Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Floor joint sealing in Shanklin Village, done properly
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Shanklin Village. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and threshold joints that have opened or worn, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Shanklin Village as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Floor joint sealing in Shanklin Village: 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. 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Harris Academy Sutton are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. As a London address, Shanklin Village can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Shanklin Village questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Shanklin Village?
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.
I let a flat near Belmont station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Shanklin Village.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
What sealant do you use?
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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy. 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t paint over silicone
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we’re called out for in Shanklin Village
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For landlords with property near Belmont station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
