About our floor joint sealing in Lyde Green
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice, which is not made to be painted. Typical jobs include grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across thresholds, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Lyde Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

When to call us in Lyde Green
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
For buildings such as Rotherwick Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

New homes and floors in Lyde Green
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitewater Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Lyde Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
