Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Letcombe Bassett
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Letcombe Bassett, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What we are called out for in Letcombe Bassett
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For buildings such as Church of St Michael, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen

Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work.

Letcombe Bassett questions
Is Letcombe Bassett in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Letcombe Bassett is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Letcombe Bassett?
Yes, Letcombe Bassett is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
