Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Englefield
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Englefield, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Questions from Englefield
Will you come out to Englefield?
Yes, Englefield is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Theale station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
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.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Englefield
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St Mark, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Theale station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What sealant work can’t fix

- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
Common problems we fix in Englefield
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Schools such as Englefield C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Advice
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
