About our floor joint sealing in Farnham Common
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and worn sealant at door thresholds, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Older homes in small places like Farnham Common often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around Farnham Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Farnham Common: your questions answered
I let a flat near Burnham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Farnham Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Farnham Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
What we are called out for in Farnham Common
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
For buildings such as St John the Evangelist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
