FAQs for Alverstoke
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Alverstoke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Alverstoke
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening between the floor and skirting and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Work in a small place like Alverstoke just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Alverstoke?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Letting a property close to Portsmouth Harbour station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Floor joint sealing around Alverstoke
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Alverstoke Community Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Little Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
