About our floor joint sealing in Burnham
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across skirting boards, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Burnham, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
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.
Floor joint sealing in Burnham: local notes
Across Slough, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Burnham station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as St Peter's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as The E-Act Burnham Park Academy are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. Parking around Burnham 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 looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Burnham
I let a flat near Burnham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Burnham?
Yes, Burnham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.

A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.

What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. In an older home around Burnham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
