Floor joint sealing in Burghfield Bridge, done properly
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. Typical jobs include gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, across tiled floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
Somewhere as small as Burghfield Bridge, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Joints and finishes in Burghfield Bridge homes
Floors around Reading 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Matthew's, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kennet Valley Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Burghfield Bridge is about 2 miles south-west of Reading, in Reading. Our applicators cover floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Burghfield Bridge and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Reading. Burghfield Bridge is one of 34 places in Reading we cover for floor joint sealing.

What’s near Burghfield Bridge
We work in homes and buildings around Calcot Park, Prospect School and Elvian School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Reading Green Park station, about 1 mile east of the centre. A little further out are Battle Hospital (2.2 miles north-east) and Broad Street Mall (2.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Fobney Island Wetland Reserve and South Lake.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Burghfield Bridge?
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Rented homes near Reading Green Park station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Burghfield Bridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

I let a flat near Reading Green Park station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
