How we handle floor joint sealing in Wadwick
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. We are often asked to deal with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older homes in small places like Wadwick often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Wadwick
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around Wadwick, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Wadwick?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
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.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Wadwick, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
