About our floor joint sealing in Southwood
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and open joints that fill with dirt.
Homes around Southwood range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Southwood
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Southwood Infant School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Floor joint sealing around Southwood
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St John the Baptist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Fleet station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Southwood is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Landlord and commercial work in Southwood
For anyone letting property in or around Southwood, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a smaller place like Southwood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Southwood
Do you cover Southwood for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Southwood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Fleet station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
