- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Floor joint sealing in Emery Down
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. If you’re dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Emery Down, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Emery Down
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.
Rented homes near Ashurst New Forest station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a small place like Emery Down, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Advice
Questions from Emery Down
I let a flat near Ashurst New Forest station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Emery Down?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

What else we do in Emery Down
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a small place like Emery Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Tidy, careful work
Common problems we fix in Emery Down
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Look out for these signs:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For buildings such as Christ Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
