Floor & skirting joints in Bassett, Southampton
Problem with your floor joints in Bassett? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Floor joint sealing in Bassett, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We’re often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Bassett, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Landlord and commercial work in Bassett
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints

New homes and floors in Bassett
Floors around Southampton run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St Michael and All Angels Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cantell School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. We fit backing where needed.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Bassett?
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Rented homes near Swaythling station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What affects the quote in Bassett
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
If you’re in Bassett and need floor joint sealing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a smaller place like Bassett, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Bassett: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bassett?
Yes, Bassett is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Swaythling station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
