- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. We fit backing where needed.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Floor joint sealing in Minstead
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. Typical jobs include perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across commercial floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
In a village or hamlet like Minstead, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Minstead, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Questions from Minstead
Can you do floor joint sealing in Minstead?
Yes, Minstead is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Ashurst New Forest station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs

What to tell us for a quote

What we’re called out for in Minstead
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Joints and finishes in Minstead homes
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.
Letting a property close to Ashurst New Forest station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Look at floor joints each spring
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
