About our floor joint sealing in Gatcombe
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
In a village or hamlet like Gatcombe, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Gatcombe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Gatcombe
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Managing a site like Chillerton and Rookley Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.

Why act early in Gatcombe
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Around Gatcombe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
