How we handle floor joint sealing in Catmore
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are concrete floor joints that have broken down and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Older homes in small places like Catmore often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Catmore and across West Berkshire.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.

Advice
Why act early in Catmore
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Catmore, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We agree the colour with you first

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Catmore
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around Catmore, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
When to call us in Catmore
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
For buildings such as Church of St Margaret, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
