How we handle floor joint sealing in Emmbrook
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. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Emmbrook range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Emmbrook
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Woosehill Community Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

What else we do in Emmbrook
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
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. In an older home around Emmbrook, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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 the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Emmbrook, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Emmbrook?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Floor joint sealing around Emmbrook
Floors around Wokingham run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Emmbrook Infant School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Wokingham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
