Floor joint sealing in Shaw
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right.

Joints and finishes in Shaw homes
Floors around West Berkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Newbury Racecourse station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What else we do in Shaw
What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a smaller place like Shaw, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Shaw, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Questions from Shaw
Is Shaw within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
