The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Martin, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How we handle floor joint sealing in Martin
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Somewhere as small as Martin, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Martin, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Common questions in Martin
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Martin?
All our work, in Martin and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Martin?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Martin is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Martin
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What we are called out for in Martin
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
In and around Martin, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
