Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around Waltham Chase can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Waltham Chase
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Common call-outs are for gaps at thresholds between rooms and failed joint filler in concrete floors, across thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Around Waltham Chase, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

What else we do in Waltham Chase
New homes and floors in Waltham Chase
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Waltham Chase Methodist Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t paint over silicone
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
When to call us in Waltham Chase
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Rented homes near Botley station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Waltham Chase questions
I let a flat near Botley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Waltham Chase for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Waltham Chase is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
