Common questions in Spencers Wood
Do you work for landlords with property near Reading Green Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Spencers Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Spencers Wood
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around Spencers Wood, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Spencers Wood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
