About our floor joint sealing in Knightwood
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. Common call-outs are for concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, across skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
In and around Knightwood, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Floor joint sealing around Knightwood
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Francis, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Knightwood Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Knightwood is about 1 mile west of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. Every kind of property in Knightwood is covered for floor joint sealing. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Knightwood among them.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit to Knightwood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

FAQs for Knightwood
Will you come out to Knightwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Knightwood?
Yes, Knightwood 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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach 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. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. In an older home around Knightwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
