What floor joint sealing looks like in Forestside
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Forestside
Can you do floor joint sealing in Forestside?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Forestside is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rowlands Castle station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. We fit backing where needed.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Forestside, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
