Padworth Common questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldermaston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Padworth Common?
Yes, Padworth Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Floor joint sealing in Padworth Common, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. Common call-outs are for skirting caulk that keeps splitting and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Padworth Common often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

New homes and floors in Padworth Common
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Aldermaston station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as The Willink School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

When to call us in Padworth Common
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Community buildings like Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Padworth Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job. Around Padworth Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
