About our floor joint sealing in Littlestead Green
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Littlestead Green. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, we can put it right, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors alike.
Around Littlestead Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Littlestead Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Advice
Common questions in Littlestead Green
Can you do floor joint sealing in Littlestead Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Littlestead Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Reading station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
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.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
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.
Common problems we fix in Littlestead Green
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Schools such as St Martin's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
