Braishfield Floor Joint Sealing
Floor joints in Braishfield need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
About our floor joint sealing in Braishfield
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help, on skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds alike.
Older homes in small places like Braishfield often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

What we’re called out for in Braishfield
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Rented homes near Romsey station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Landlord and commercial work in Braishfield
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Do you remove the old sealant?

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Braishfield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
