Floor joint sealing in Martyr Worthy
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and people most often call us about gaps opening between the floor and skirting and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Somewhere as small as Martyr Worthy, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Martyr Worthy, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

- Leaks from a failed tanking system

Questions from Martyr Worthy
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Winchester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Martyr Worthy?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Martyr Worthy is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Joints and finishes in Martyr Worthy homes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Swithin, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Itchen Abbas Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

When to call us in Martyr Worthy
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Rented homes near Winchester station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone

- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property

- The problem you’ve noticed

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- 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
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
