Floor & skirting joints in Hensting, Hampshire
Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hensting. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Floor joint sealing in Hensting
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Hensting, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an 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.

Is Hensting in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hensting is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

When to call us in Hensting
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hensting can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
