About our floor joint sealing in Tulse Hill
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across commercial floors, thresholds and tiled floors.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tulse Hill and across Greater London.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Tulse Hill. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Common problems we fix in Tulse Hill
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you let a flat or house near Tulse Hill station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

FAQs for Tulse Hill
Is parking a problem for a job in Tulse Hill?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is Tulse Hill in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tulse Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Floor joint sealing in Tulse Hill: local notes
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 each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as St Martin-In-The-Fields High School for Girls, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
