Common questions in Shoreditch
Do you cover Shoreditch for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shoreditch is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Shoreditch?
Parking in Shoreditch, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Floor joint sealing in Shoreditch
Across Shoreditch, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors alike.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in Shoreditch as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shoreditch
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Shoreditch, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

New homes and floors in Shoreditch
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger 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 they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like St Leonard's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Shoreditch High Street station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What we do, step by step

- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Shoreditch can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Shoreditch
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Shoreditch is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
