Floor & skirting joints in Dibden, Hampshire
Our applicators work in Dibden on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant

When to call us in Dibden
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

About our floor joint sealing in Dibden
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you are dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help.
In and around Dibden, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Why it’s worth doing now in Dibden
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Around Dibden, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Dibden is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Questions from Dibden
Do you work for landlords with property near Southampton Town Quay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Dibden in your area for floor joint sealing?

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Dibden?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Floor joint sealing in Dibden: local notes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Southampton Town Quay station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Applemore College, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
