Floor Joint Sealing in Lower Burgate
We cover Lower Burgate for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
What we are called out for in Lower Burgate
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Floor joint sealing in Lower Burgate, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. Typical jobs include failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older homes in small places like Lower Burgate often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Burgate and across Hampshire.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Floor joint sealing in Lower Burgate: local notes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What else we do in Lower Burgate
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and the area is left clean.

- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
