Joints and finishes in Up Somborne homes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Around Up Somborne, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

About our floor joint sealing in Up Somborne
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you’re dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Older homes in small places like Up Somborne often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Up Somborne
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Around Up Somborne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

What else we do in Up Somborne
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Up Somborne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

FAQs for Up Somborne
Is floor joint sealing in Up Somborne guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Up Somborne within the area you cover?
Yes. Up Somborne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
