- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Floor joint sealing in Portchester, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Portchester range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Portchester and across Hampshire.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Portchester is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Can I do it myself?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints

Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Portchester
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Castle Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Portchester station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
