Dibden Purlieu questions
I let a flat near Southampton Town Quay station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Dibden Purlieu?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
About our floor joint sealing in Dibden Purlieu
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We’re often asked to deal with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Dibden Purlieu, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dibden Purlieu as everywhere else we work.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Dibden Purlieu, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dibden Purlieu
For anyone letting property in or around Dibden Purlieu, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
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 before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a job in Dibden Purlieu, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

What floor joint sealing looks like in Dibden Purlieu
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.
If you look after a building such as Wildground Infant School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Andrew's Church and Centre, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. 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.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
