DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Leaks from a failed tanking system

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
