DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.

Common problems we fix in Arborfield Cross
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Schools such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Arborfield Cross
