Joints and finishes in Sutton Scotney homes
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 Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

About our floor joint sealing in Sutton Scotney
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice, which is not made to be painted. We’re often asked to deal with open joints that fill with dirt and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
For a small place like Sutton Scotney, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Sutton Scotney: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Micheldever station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Sutton Scotney within the area you cover?
Yes. Sutton Scotney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Sutton Scotney?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Letting a property close to Micheldever station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
