Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Upper Lambourn
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, across skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Lambourn, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Upper Lambourn, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Upper Lambourn questions
Will you come out to Upper Lambourn?
Yes, Upper Lambourn is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is floor joint sealing in Upper Lambourn guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do I need to be at home?
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Joints and finishes in Upper Lambourn homes
Floors around West Berkshire 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.
In and around Upper Lambourn, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Upper Lambourn itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Lambourn can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
