- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
How we handle floor joint sealing in South Norwood
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about worn sealant at door thresholds and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Norwood as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
What we’re called out for in South Norwood
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mark, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

New homes and floors in South Norwood
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
South Norwood is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
