Floor joint sealing in Stone Hill
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Around Stone Hill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Floor joint sealing around Stone Hill

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.

What else we do in Stone Hill
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
FAQs for Stone Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Hill?
Yes, Stone Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Stone Hill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Stone Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do I have to be there?
