Floor & skirting joints in Riseley, West Berkshire
Floor joint sealing across Riseley and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Riseley
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and commercial floors, and people most often call us about gaps at thresholds between rooms and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Older homes in small places like Riseley 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 comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Riseley
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why act early in Riseley
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Riseley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Riseley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
