How we handle floor joint sealing in North Fareham
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
For a small place like North Fareham, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.

What floor joint sealing looks like in North Fareham
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 Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

When to call us in North Fareham
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you look after a building such as Harrison Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in North Fareham
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like North Fareham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
