New homes and floors in Surrey Canal
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Community buildings like St Katharine with St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to South Bermondsey station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Surrey Canal?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Tiled floors with no room to move
As a London address, Surrey Canal can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Common questions in Surrey Canal
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Surrey Canal?
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.

My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long before the joint can take traffic?

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Surrey Canal. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
