Floor & skirting joints in Lordswood, Southampton
Floor joints in Lordswood need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.

- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Floor joint sealing in Lordswood
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you’re dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can put it right, on commercial floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
In smaller places like Lordswood, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. A visit to Lordswood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Lordswood
Floors around Southampton run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Millbrook (Hants) station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Oakwood Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Common problems we fix in Lordswood
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Community buildings like Lord's Hill Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Lordswood questions
Do you cover Lordswood for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lordswood is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Millbrook (Hants) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Lordswood?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In a smaller place like Lordswood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
