Floor Joint Sealing in Wickham Heath
We cover Wickham Heath for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Look at floor joints each spring
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we will give you each time.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
About our floor joint sealing in Wickham Heath
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and tiled floors with no room to move.
Older homes in small places like Wickham Heath often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Wickham Heath
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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 Parish Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Stockcross C.E. School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Wickham Heath, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wickham Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Wickham Heath?
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Letting a property close to Kintbury station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Are they insured?
