Floor joint sealing in Upper Woolhampton, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and open joints that fill with dirt.
Around Upper Woolhampton, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Joints and finishes in Upper Woolhampton 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.
If you look after a building such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Douai Abbey Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
What we are called out for in Upper Woolhampton
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
For landlords with property near Midgham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Upper Woolhampton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
