Floor joint sealing in Barkham, done properly
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Barkham just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Older cottages and farmhouses around Barkham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Other services in Barkham
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Barkham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Questions from Barkham
Is Barkham in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Barkham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wokingham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
New homes and floors in Barkham
Floors around Wokingham run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

When to call us in Barkham
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
