What floor joint sealing looks like in Frating
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Saint Andrew's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Alresford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Common questions in Frating
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Alresford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Frating within the area you cover?
Yes. Frating is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Frating can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
