Floor joint sealing in Wokingham
Across Wokingham, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
A place the size of Wokingham has new developments as well as older streets. New homes need their plot mastic and sealant finished well, and owners often find snags in the first year or two, as a new house dries out and settles.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. In flats, shops and offices in Wokingham, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it’s often found late and is bigger to put right.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Floor joint sealing in Wokingham: local notes
Floors around Wokingham 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.
If you look after a building such as Walter Infant School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St Paul are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Wokingham: your questions answered

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Wokingham?
All our work, in Wokingham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Jobs in a place the size of Wokingham range from town-centre flats to offices and family homes. For each, it helps to know about access, parking and where the joints are.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
