Floor Joint Sealing in Hampshire

How floor joint sealing works in Hampshire

Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, across thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors.

We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint.

  1. We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
  2. Old material is removed from the joint.
  3. We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
  4. We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
  5. We check the joints and explain the aftercare.

How we quote

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Floor joint sealing across Hampshire: local notes

Homes across Hampshire range from older properties with timber floors to new builds settling in. Floors move and new buildings settle, so skirting and floor joints open up in both.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Hampshire is planned around the weather. In the coastal parts of Hampshire, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Basingstoke: For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as St Michael's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

When it isn’t the sealant

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Bouncy or failing floorboards
  • Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
  • Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

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.

Surface by surface

Wet room and bathroom floors

Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.

Tiled floors

Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.

How we quote for floor joint sealing

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The size of the job
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Access and height

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Where the job is, and your postcode

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Hampshire

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.

What sealant do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

How long will you be here?

Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?

Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.

Is caulk good enough for skirting?

Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.

Will you leave a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
