About our floor joint sealing in Chilton Foliat
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We are often asked to deal with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors.
For a small place like Chilton Foliat, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilton Foliat
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Chilton Foliat
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chilton Foliat can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Homes, businesses and hotels

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Chilton Foliat, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

New homes and floors in Chilton Foliat
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.

Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Chilton Foliat
Do you work for landlords with property near Hungerford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Chilton Foliat?
Yes, Chilton Foliat is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
What affects the quote in Chilton Foliat
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
