Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Otterbourne
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. Common call-outs are for skirting caulk that keeps splitting and tiled floors with no room to move, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Otterbourne, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why act early in Otterbourne
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Otterbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Otterbourne
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For floor joint sealing in Otterbourne, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Otterbourne questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Otterbourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Otterbourne 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.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Otterbourne, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Otterbourne: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Matthew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Otterbourne Church of England Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
