How we handle floor joint sealing in East Stratton
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 with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Somewhere as small as East Stratton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Around East Stratton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
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 for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. In a small place like East Stratton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Your questions about floor joint sealing in East Stratton
I let a flat near Micheldever station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to East Stratton?
Yes, East Stratton is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in East Stratton
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
