Joints and finishes in Compton homes
Across Hampshire, 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.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Shawford station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Floor joint sealing in Compton, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Common call-outs are for open joints that fill with dirt and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Compton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Landlord and commercial work in Compton
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Compton and across Hampshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Compton?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Managing a site like Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Compton questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Compton in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Compton is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
