Floor joint sealing in Woolwich
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and tiled floors, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What else we do in Woolwich
New homes and floors in Woolwich
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. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Managing a site like Mulgrave Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Woolwich Dockyard station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Woolwich is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Woolwich questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Woolwich Dockyard station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Woolwich in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Woolwich is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the quote in Woolwich
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In Woolwich, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
