When to call us in Petersfield
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like St Peter's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards.

New homes and floors in Petersfield

Rented homes near Petersfield station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Petersfield Infant School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit in Petersfield needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
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. Resealing early keeps it out.

Do you cover Petersfield for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Petersfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
