How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Single Street. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

Floor joint sealing in Single Street, done properly
Across Single Street, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. Common call-outs are for tiled floors with no room to move and floor edges that trap water and grime, across concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Single Street questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Single Street?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chelsfield station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do you work in Single Street?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Single Street included.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What we’re called out for in Single Street
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Look out for these signs:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For landlords with property near Chelsfield station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Before you book anyone

- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Floor joint sealing in Single Street: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Single Street is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Cudham Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Single Street
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Single Street.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
