About our floor joint sealing in Compton
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Somewhere as small as Compton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Floor joint sealing in Compton: local notes
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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 St Nicholas are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Farncombe 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 Compton
Do you work for landlords with property near Farncombe station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Compton for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Compton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
What we are called out for in Compton
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as Loseley Fields Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether VAT is included

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
