About our floor joint sealing in Farlington
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. If you have failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can put it right.
Homes around Farlington range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. In a smaller place like Farlington, 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.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Farlington
Across Portsmouth, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Solent Infant School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Common problems we fix in Farlington
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
If you let a flat or house near Cosham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
