How we handle floor joint sealing in Colbury
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
In a village or hamlet like Colbury, 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 with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a small place like Colbury, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Colbury
Floors around Hampshire 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.
Community buildings like Colbury Christ Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Foxhills Infant School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Rented homes near Ashurst New Forest station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Colbury
Will you come out to Colbury?
Yes. Colbury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
For anyone letting property in or around Colbury, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Colbury, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
