About our floor joint sealing in Cold Ash
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Cold Ash often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Floor joint sealing in Cold Ash: local notes
Floors around West Berkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as St. Mark's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Cold Ash: your questions answered
Do you cover Cold Ash for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cold Ash is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Cold Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What affects the quote in Cold Ash
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Cold Ash, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Advice
When to call us in Cold Ash
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you let a flat or house near Thatcham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
