Floor & skirting joints in Hollington, West Berkshire
Floor joint sealing across Hollington and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. In a small place like Hollington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why Hollington clients choose us

How we handle floor joint sealing in Hollington
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening between the floor and skirting and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Around Hollington, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Floor joint sealing in Hollington: local notes
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.
Schools such as St Thomas' Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Kintbury station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as Church of St Thomas, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Hollington: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hollington?
Yes, Hollington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kintbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
When can I walk on the floor?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the quote in Hollington
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Hollington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
