Woodend: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Woodend?
Yes, Woodend is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Botley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Woodend
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We’re often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, on thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
For a small place like Woodend, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Woodend, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Why act early in Woodend
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woodend can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Do not paint over silicone
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Woodend
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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 Church of the Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Swanmore College of Technology, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What we are called out for in Woodend
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Rented homes near Botley station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
