How we handle floor joint sealing in Lymington
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you have worn sealant at door thresholds and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Lymington move a little with the seasons, and skirting and floor joints show it first. Those joints need a flexible sealant, as rigid filler soon cracks out.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. For a job in Lymington, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Lymington: your questions answered
Do you cover Lymington for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lymington is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is floor joint sealing in Lymington guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Lymington
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Managing a site like Lymington Junior School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. We fit backing where needed.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
New homes and floors in Lymington
Floors around Hampshire 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Lymington Town station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
