How we handle floor joint sealing in Basingstoke
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and people most often call us about cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Plenty of homes in Basingstoke are on estates built in the last few decades, where the builder’s original sealant around baths, frames and skirtings may be due for replacing. Snagging and second-fix sealing are part of what we do for developers and new-home owners alike.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.
Questions from Basingstoke
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Basingstoke guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work in Basingstoke?

What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.

Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Basingstoke?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. For landlords in Basingstoke, failed sealant soon turns into tenant complaints about mould, damp or draughts. It’s simpler to sort between tenants than in the middle of a let.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Basingstoke
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like St Michael's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In Basingstoke, we work in everything from flats and family homes to offices and hotels. Whichever it is, tell us how to get in, where to park and where the work is.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
