Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Winterbourne
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Winterbourne just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Winterbourne
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a building such as Mary Hare School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Whether VAT is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Joints and finishes in Winterbourne homes
Floors around West Berkshire 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.
For buildings such as Church of St James, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
