Floor joint sealing in Fareham Common, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. Common call-outs are for cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Homes around Fareham Common 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Fareham Common and everywhere else we cover.

Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Fareham Common is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Questions from Fareham Common
Will you come out to Fareham Common?
Yes. Fareham Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Fareham Common in your area for floor joint sealing?

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Fareham Common?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
New homes and floors in Fareham Common
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Wykeham House School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job. In a smaller place like Fareham Common, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
