Common questions in Park Gate
Do you work for landlords with property near Swanwick station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Park Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Floor joint sealing in Park Gate, done properly
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Park Gate. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
Around Park Gate, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Swanwick station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Park Gate Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
What we are called out for in Park Gate
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Community buildings like St Margaret Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why act early in Park Gate
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. In a small place like Park Gate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We leave the area clean and tidy

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Park Gate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
