Floor joint sealing in Afton
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Afton. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. If you are dealing with open joints around bathroom floor edges and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Afton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

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.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.
New homes and floors in Afton
Across the Isle of Wight, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like St. Agnes' Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Afton
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Afton?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Afton in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Afton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Around Afton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Afton, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
