- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Floor joint sealing in Hambrook, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and skirting boards, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Older homes in small places like Hambrook often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Hambrook needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What we are called out for in Hambrook
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Letting a property close to Nutbourne station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hambrook
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chidham Parochial Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Wilfrid's Church and Hall, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What’s near Hambrook
In Hambrook, that means homes and buildings near Bourne Community College, among other places. The closest station to Hambrook is Nutbourne station, about 0.6 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Havant War Memorial Hospital (4.7 miles west) and Emsworth Museum (2.5 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hambrook can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
