Floor & skirting joints in Dunsden Green, Reading

How we handle floor joint sealing in Dunsden Green
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help.
Work in a small place like Dunsden Green just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Dunsden Green
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
For buildings such as All Saints Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Dunsden Green
Can you do floor joint sealing in Dunsden Green?
Yes, Dunsden Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Dunsden Green?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
New homes and floors in Dunsden Green
Floors around Reading 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.
Letting a property close to Reading station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Martin's Catholic Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
