Floor joint sealing in Hermitage
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Work in a small place like Hermitage just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the quote in Hermitage
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a small place like Hermitage, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Hermitage: your questions answered
Is Hermitage within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
What we’re called out for in Hermitage
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a building such as Hermitage Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hermitage
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Newbury Racecourse station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hermitage
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Hermitage, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
