Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Bassett Green
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Common call-outs are for tiled floors with no room to move and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
In and around Bassett Green, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Bassett Green?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Community buildings like St Alban's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What else we do in Bassett Green
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Bassett Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Swaythling station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Bassett Green for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Bassett Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a job in Bassett Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Bassett Green
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. In an older home around Bassett Green, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Across Southampton, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Swaythling station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
