How we handle floor joint sealing in Lower Hardres
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds alike.
Work in a small place like Lower Hardres just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Lower Hardres, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Hardres can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, 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, so you know where you stand.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Lower Hardres, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
