About our floor joint sealing in Burcott
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We’re often asked to deal with open joints around bathroom floor edges and threshold joints that have opened or worn, on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Burcott often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Burcott: your questions answered
Do you cover Burcott for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Burcott is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Burcott?
Yes, Burcott is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Floor joint sealing around Burcott
Floors around Buckinghamshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Aylesbury station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Bierton Church of England Combined School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
What we are called out for in Burcott
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
