How we handle floor joint sealing in Little Holbury
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. We are often asked to deal with failed joint filler in concrete floors and worn sealant at door thresholds, across concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
In a village or hamlet like Little Holbury, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Little Holbury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

New homes and floors in Little Holbury
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.
Schools such as Manor Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
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.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Little Holbury
Will you come out to Little Holbury?
Yes. Little Holbury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Little Holbury in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Little Holbury is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
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.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

When to call us in Little Holbury
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
For landlords with property near Netley station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
