About our floor joint sealing in Test Valley
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Test Valley, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.

What else we do in Test Valley
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a small place like Test Valley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Questions from Test Valley
Is Test Valley in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Test Valley is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Test Valley?
All our work, in Test Valley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

For buildings such as Church of St James, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Around Test Valley, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
