How we handle floor joint sealing in Great Hollands
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Great Hollands. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
In smaller places like Great Hollands, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Great Hollands
Across Bracknell Forest, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Bracknell, which Great Hollands is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Bracknell has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Hollands Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

When to call us in Great Hollands
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For landlords with property near Bracknell station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a smaller place like Great Hollands, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Great Hollands
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Great Hollands is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Common questions in Great Hollands
Can you do floor joint sealing in Great Hollands?
Yes, Great Hollands is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Great Hollands within the area you cover?
Yes, Great Hollands is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
