Whiteley: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Swanwick station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Whiteley in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Whiteley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Whiteley
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across commercial floors, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Homes around Whiteley range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whiteley and across Hampshire.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a job in Whiteley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Nearby places to Whiteley

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Homes in smaller places like Whiteley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Common problems we fix in Whiteley
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Letting a property close to Swanwick station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Floor joint sealing around Whiteley
Floors around Hampshire 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.
Community buildings like St Margaret Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whiteley Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
