Temple: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Temple?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near London Blackfriars station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
About our floor joint sealing in Temple
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Why it’s worth doing now in Temple
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a flat in Temple, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Full insurance on every job
- Colour agreed with you before we start
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords and letting agents in Temple can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In Temple, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Floor joint sealing in Temple: local notes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For landlords with property near London Blackfriars station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Temple Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Common problems we fix in Temple
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Temple is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
