About our floor joint sealing in Wandsworth
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Wandsworth?
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant

Joints and finishes in Wandsworth homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
As a London address, Wandsworth can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Anne's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Wandsworth: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Wandsworth?
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.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Wandsworth?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wandsworth is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In Wandsworth, 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 clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
