Why it’s worth doing now in Burghfield Hill
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Burghfield Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We agree the colour with you first
How we handle floor joint sealing in Burghfield Hill
Across Burghfield Hill, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. Common call-outs are for tiled floors with no room to move and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Burghfield Hill, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around Burghfield Hill, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Burghfield Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Burghfield Hill for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Burghfield Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Burghfield Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Burghfield Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Burghfield Hill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. 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.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
New homes and floors in Burghfield Hill
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Mortimer station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Garland Junior School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
