Joints and finishes in Swanmore 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Barnabas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Botley station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Floor joint sealing in Swanmore, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Homes around Swanmore range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Swanmore
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Homes in smaller places like Swanmore can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a job in Swanmore, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Swanmore?
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a building such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
