How we handle floor joint sealing in South Hornchurch
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t paint over silicone
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step

- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.

- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

FAQs for South Hornchurch
Do you work for landlords with property near Rainham (Essex) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in South Hornchurch?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Normally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
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.
New homes and floors in South Hornchurch
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 each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
South Hornchurch is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
