How we handle floor joint sealing in Hale Common
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can help.
Around Hale Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hale Common
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hale Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Landlord and commercial work in Hale Common
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents and landlords in Hale Common can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Hale Common?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Schools such as Newchurch Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
