Floor & skirting joints in Three Ashes, West Berkshire
Floor joint sealing across Three Ashes and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Three Ashes
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. Common call-outs are for skirting that has pulled away from the floor and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
Around Three Ashes, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Three Ashes needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Why it’s worth doing now in Three Ashes
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Three Ashes, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Three Ashes
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a building such as Silchester Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?

Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
