Floor Joint Sealing in Trash Green
Problem with your floor joints in Trash Green? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Trash Green
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Trash Green, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
What we’re called out for in Trash Green
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you let a flat or house near Theale station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Trash Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

New homes and floors in Trash Green
Across Reading, 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.
If you look after a building such as Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
