Floor joint sealing in Hersham
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Hersham, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Homes in smaller places like Hersham can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

New homes and floors in Hersham
Across Surrey, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Walton-On-Thames station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Bouncy or failing floorboards

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a smaller place like Hersham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
