Red Post Bridge Floor Joint Sealing
Problem with your floor joints in Red Post Bridge? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.
Floor joint sealing in Red Post Bridge, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Older homes in small places like Red Post Bridge often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common problems we fix in Red Post Bridge
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For landlords with property near Andover station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Red Post Bridge questions
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Red Post Bridge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.

Joints and finishes in Red Post Bridge homes
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like John Hanson Community School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
