How we handle floor joint sealing in Ludgershall
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Typical jobs include skirting that has pulled away from the floor and floor edges that trap water and grime, on thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Ludgershall, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ludgershall can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in Ludgershall
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

- Are they insured?

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job.

- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

Ludgershall questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ludgershall?
Yes. Ludgershall 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.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Ludgershall?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Ludgershall?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
