Floor joint sealing in Burghfield Common
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.

New homes and floors in Burghfield Common
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Garland Junior School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Mortimer station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What happens on the day
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 Burghfield Common, 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.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Burghfield Common and the rest of West Berkshire.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- 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.
