Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in East Meon
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and tiled floors with no room to move.
For a small place like East Meon, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Floor joint sealing around East Meon
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Meon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When to call us in East Meon
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Schools such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Do you cover East Meon for floor joint sealing?
Yes, East Meon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
