Floor joint sealing in Hipley
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We are often asked to deal with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, on skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
For a small place like Hipley, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Hipley?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

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 moves with the floor. Around Hipley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We’re fully insured
- One-year guarantee on every job

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Hipley, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Floor joint sealing around Hipley
Across Hampshire, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Portchester station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
