Floor joint sealing in Mapledurwell
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Around Mapledurwell, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Mapledurwell, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Floor joint sealing in Mapledurwell: local notes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Hook station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Mapledurwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. 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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
