Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Soberton Heath
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. If you’re dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Soberton Heath often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

What else we do in Soberton Heath
Landlord and commercial work in Soberton Heath
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Soberton Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job

Questions from Soberton Heath
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Soberton Heath?
All our work, in Soberton Heath and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Soberton Heath for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Soberton Heath is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When can I walk on the floor?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Soberton Heath, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

New homes and floors in Soberton Heath
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Common problems we fix in Soberton Heath
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
