Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our floor joint sealing in Anthill Common
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Anthill Common, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Anthill Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Portchester station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Anthill Common, along with the rest of our area.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- 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. 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.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Anthill Common
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Portchester station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Anthill Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
