Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Sway
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are open joints around bathroom floor edges and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
In smaller places like Sway, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Sway and across Hampshire.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Sway is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Sway
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as St Luke's Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like St Luke's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

Yes, Sway is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Sway?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Common problems we fix in Sway
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For landlords with property near Sway station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
