About our floor joint sealing in Yattendon
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We’re often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
Around Yattendon, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Yattendon: your questions answered
Is Yattendon in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Yattendon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Goring & Streatley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Yattendon?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
New homes and floors in Yattendon
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Goring & Streatley station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Yattendon C.E. Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Yattendon
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
