Do you need floor joint sealing in Burnt Hill?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How we handle floor joint sealing in Burnt Hill
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. Typical jobs include tiled floors with no room to move and worn sealant at door thresholds, across skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Burnt Hill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Burnt Hill
Floors around West Berkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Yattendon C.E. Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Pangbourne station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Burnt Hill: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Pangbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Burnt Hill for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Burnt Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Burnt Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
