How we handle floor joint sealing in Bury's Bank
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about gaps at thresholds between rooms and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
In a village or hamlet like Bury's Bank, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
Floor joint sealing in Bury's Bank: local notes
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.
Letting a property close to Newbury Racecourse station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as The Willows Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Bury's Bank, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
