- Worn sealant at door thresholds

- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Floor joint sealing in Upper Walthamstow, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Upper Walthamstow questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Upper Walthamstow?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wood Street station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in Upper Walthamstow
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
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.
When to call us in Upper Walthamstow
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you look after a building such as The Woodside Primary Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- What the cure time is
- What preparation is included
- Is VAT in the price?
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
