Floor joint sealing in Gosport, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Common call-outs are for failed joint filler in concrete floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, on thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Homes around Gosport move a little with the seasons, and skirting and floor joints show it first. A flexible sealant, rather than rigid filler, keeps those joints closed.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In Gosport, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

What floor joint sealing looks like in Gosport
Across Hampshire, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Portsmouth Harbour station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Faith's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What else we do in Gosport
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Gosport
Is floor joint sealing in Gosport guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Gosport?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Gosport is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Gosport
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
The most common problems we see are:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a building such as Brockhurst Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
