About our floor joint sealing in Lower Green

Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and people most often call us about cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.

Older homes in small places like Lower Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens if it’s left?

Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Floor joint sealing in Lower Green: local notes

Floors around West Berkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Community buildings like Church of St Michael are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inkpen Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Can I do it myself?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Different surfaces, different methods

Commercial floors

In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.

Wet room and bathroom floors

Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.

Honest limits

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

  • Movement too big for a sealant joint
  • Bouncy or failing floorboards
  • Concrete repairs beyond the joint

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we seal

  • Commercial floors
  • Skirting boards
  • Wet room & bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Thresholds
  • Concrete floor joints

Do you need floor joint sealing in Lower Green?

Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps at thresholds between rooms
  • Concrete floor joints that have broken down
  • Tiled floors with no room to move
  • Open joints around bathroom floor edges

If you let a flat or house near Kintbury station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • The length of the guarantee
