- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Common problems we fix in Ibthorpe
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

About our floor joint sealing in Ibthorpe
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. We are often asked to deal with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, on thresholds, tiled floors and commercial floors.
Somewhere as small as Ibthorpe, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Ibthorpe, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Joints and finishes in Ibthorpe homes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Why act early in Ibthorpe
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ibthorpe can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for Ibthorpe
Do you cover smaller places like Ibthorpe?
Yes. Ibthorpe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Ibthorpe for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ibthorpe is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
