About our floor joint sealing in Hoe Gate
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. If you’re dealing with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Hoe Gate, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

New homes and floors in Hoe Gate
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Portchester station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hoe Gate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
