Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Upper Green
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right.
For a small place like Upper Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Green
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Around Upper Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Joints and finishes in Upper Green homes
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Kintbury station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like Church of St Michael are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.

Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not paint over silicone
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Upper Green
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Schools such as Inkpen Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
