Floor joint sealing in Upper Common, done properly
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. Typical jobs include gaps opening between the floor and skirting and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Common, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Upper Common
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Letting a property close to Basingstoke station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.

Upper Common: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Common?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
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.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.

Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. We fit backing where needed.
