About our floor joint sealing in Boyatt Wood
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Homes around Boyatt Wood range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Boyatt Wood
Floor joint sealing in Boyatt Wood: local notes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Peter's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Eastleigh station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Crestwood Community School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For floor joint sealing in Boyatt Wood, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a smaller place like Boyatt Wood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In an older home around Boyatt Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Boyatt Wood
Do you work for landlords with property near Eastleigh station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Boyatt Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Usually it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
