Floor joint sealing in Oliver's Battery
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Common call-outs are for tiled floors with no room to move and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on thresholds, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Older homes in small places like Oliver's Battery often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. In a small place like Oliver's Battery, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Joints and finishes in Oliver's Battery homes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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 Saint Mark's, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Olivers Battery Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Oliver's Battery
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
