About our floor joint sealing in Lower Bourne
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Lower Bourne, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Floor joint sealing in Lower Bourne: local notes
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Farnham College, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as St Martin by the Green, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Common questions in Lower Bourne
Do you cover Lower Bourne for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lower Bourne is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Lower Bourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Lower Bourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Why has a gap opened under my 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 work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.

What we are called out for in Lower Bourne
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For landlords with property near Farnham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
Why act early in Lower Bourne
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Around Lower Bourne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Lower Bourne 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.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
