Floor joint sealing in The Hummicks
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
Around The Hummicks, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

What floor joint sealing looks like in The Hummicks
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Beaulieu Road station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Landlord and commercial work in The Hummicks
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Advice
Common questions in The Hummicks
Do you cover smaller places like The Hummicks?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover The Hummicks for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and The Hummicks is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Hummicks, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- We never seal over old sealant

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in The Hummicks
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Community buildings like Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
