Floor joint sealing in Hillhead, done properly
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Hillhead, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillhead

Why it’s worth doing now in Hillhead
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. In a small place like Hillhead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Joints and finishes in Hillhead homes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Hillhead: your questions answered

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.

What we’re called out for in Hillhead
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St George, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
