Lychpit Floor Joint Sealing
Professional floor joint sealing in and around Lychpit, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Why it’s worth doing now in Lychpit
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Lychpit, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

About our floor joint sealing in Lychpit
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Lychpit often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Lychpit needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Lychpit
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Lychpit: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lychpit?
Yes, Lychpit is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Lychpit for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lychpit is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
When to call us in Lychpit
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Look out for these signs:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Schools such as Old Basing Infant School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
Joints and finishes in Lychpit homes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
