DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Brightwalton
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Brightwalton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Brightwalton questions
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Brightwalton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Brightwalton for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Brightwalton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t paint over silicone
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.

- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
What we’re called out for in Brightwalton
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brightwalton C.E. Aided Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
