How we handle floor joint sealing in West Hendon
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have tiled floors with no room to move and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors alike.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for West Hendon
Is West Hendon in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, West Hendon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Hendon station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Common problems we fix in West Hendon
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
West Hendon is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on how much there is to do. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hendon
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in West Hendon, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Joints and finishes in West Hendon homes
Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For buildings such as St Matthias the Apostle church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like The Hyde School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
