Floor joint sealing in West Hackney
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in West Hackney and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
Floor joint sealing around West Hackney
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For buildings such as St Michael and All Angels, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Rectory Road station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Common questions in West Hackney
I let a flat near Rectory Road station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in West Hackney?
Parking in West Hackney, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. In West Hackney, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

When to call us in West Hackney
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Managing a site like Benthal Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
