About our floor joint sealing in Newtown Common
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. We work on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Around Newtown Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Questions from Newtown Common
Will you come out to Newtown Common?
Yes. Newtown Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Newtown Common in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Newtown Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
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.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Around Newtown Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Joints and finishes in Newtown Common homes
Floors around West Berkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Horris Hill School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St Mary and St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
