About our floor joint sealing in Bursledon
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. If you are dealing with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Bursledon, 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Bursledon questions
Is Bursledon in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bursledon is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Bursledon within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Joints and finishes in Bursledon homes
Floors around Hampshire 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 let a flat or house near Bursledon station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as St Paul’s Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Bursledon Church of England Infant School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Bursledon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Homes in smaller places like Bursledon can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
