How we handle floor joint sealing in Borden
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards alike.
Around Borden, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Floor joint sealing in Borden: local notes
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Liss station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Borden
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Borden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Why it’s worth doing now in Borden
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around Borden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Questions from Borden
Do you work for landlords with property near Liss station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Borden?
Yes. Borden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
