Floor joint sealing in Inner Avenue
Across Inner Avenue, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Inner Avenue, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Inner Avenue?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Schools such as Bevois Town Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Why deal with it now?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. Around Inner Avenue, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Colour agreed with you before we start

Floor joint sealing in Inner Avenue: local notes
Across Southampton, 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 Saint Mary's, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near St Denys station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
