Floor joint sealing in Farnborough, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right, on skirting boards, thresholds and commercial floors alike.
In a town like Farnborough, skirting and floor joints open up as homes settle and floors move with the seasons. A flexible sealant, rather than rigid filler, keeps those joints closed.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Farnborough
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tower Hill Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking in a town like Farnborough is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and they’re far easier to fix early.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Farnborough?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Generally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
