Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Donnington
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
For a small place like Donnington, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Donnington and everywhere else we cover.

Donnington questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Donnington?
Yes, Donnington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor when you ask for a quote.
Floor joint sealing around Donnington
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shaw-cum-Donnington C.E. Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Donnington
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Older cottages and farmhouses around Donnington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
