Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Winchester
Across Winchester, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you’re dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can help, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds alike.
Winchester is big enough to have new developments going up alongside its older streets. Snags in sealant and floor joints often show in a new home’s first year or two.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Winchester
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as St Bede Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Joints and finishes in Winchester homes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
