How we handle floor joint sealing in Theale
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, tiled floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joint filler in concrete floors and open joints that fill with dirt.
In smaller places like Theale, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Homes in smaller places like Theale 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why Theale customers choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour picked to suit the job
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Theale is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not paint over silicone
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Common problems we fix in Theale
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
