Floor joint sealing in Silchester
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. If you have cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can put it right.
Around Silchester, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Silchester as everywhere else we work.

New homes and floors in Silchester
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.
Letting a property close to Bramley (Hants) station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Silchester Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Saint Luke's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

Questions from Silchester
I let a flat near Bramley (Hants) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Silchester?
Yes. Silchester is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Silchester, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
