About our floor joint sealing in Upminster
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. If you are dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and tiled floors alike.
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 Upminster and across Greater London.

What else we do in Upminster
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing around Upminster
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 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.
If you look after a building such as Upminster Junior School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Laurence, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.

Common questions in Upminster
Is Upminster in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Upminster is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Upminster?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
