Wellhouse questions
Is Wellhouse within the area you cover?
Yes. Wellhouse is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Thatcham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Wellhouse?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Floor joint sealing in Wellhouse
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Wellhouse. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are worn sealant at door thresholds and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Older homes in small places like Wellhouse often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Wellhouse needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Joints and finishes in Wellhouse homes
Floors around West Berkshire 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.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Hermitage Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor

What we’re called out for in Wellhouse
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Letting a property close to Thatcham station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What else we do in Wellhouse
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
