Picket Piece Floor Joint Sealing
Our applicators work in Picket Piece on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
How we handle floor joint sealing in Picket Piece
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about worn sealant at door thresholds and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Picket Piece, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for Picket Piece
Can you do floor joint sealing in Picket Piece?
Yes, Picket Piece is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. For a job in Picket Piece, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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 vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Picket Piece

Look out for these signs:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a building such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
