Your questions about floor joint sealing in Inkpen
Is Inkpen in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Inkpen is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Inkpen?
Yes. Inkpen is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
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.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Inkpen
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you have gaps opening between the floor and skirting and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Inkpen, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Inkpen
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Inkpen, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
New homes and floors in Inkpen
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Inkpen Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Kintbury station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
