How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in West Norwood. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

About our floor joint sealing in West Norwood
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across West Norwood. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
New homes and floors in West Norwood
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 snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
West Norwood is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Community buildings like West Norwood Congregational Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near West Norwood station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

FAQs for West Norwood
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in West Norwood?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Norwood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Normally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
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.
