How we handle floor joint sealing in New Forest
Across New Forest, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Work in a small place like New Forest just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in New Forest and across Hampshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Questions from New Forest
Is New Forest within the area you cover?
Yes, New Forest is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in New Forest?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like New Forest, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Floor joint sealing in New Forest: local notes
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.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
When to call us in New Forest
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Around New Forest, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
