Why act early in Temple Bar
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Temple Bar, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Temple Bar
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We are often asked to deal with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Temple Bar as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Temple Bar: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near City Thameslink station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Temple Bar in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Temple Bar is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours.
Floor joint sealing around Temple Bar
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near City Thameslink station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Different surfaces, different methods

In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Temple Bar and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally 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.
