Floor joint sealing in Branstone, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Around Branstone, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Branstone
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Branstone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Floor joint sealing in Branstone: local notes
Across the Isle of Wight, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints' Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Newchurch Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Branstone questions
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Branstone?
Yes. Branstone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
