About our floor joint sealing in Chale
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Somewhere as small as Chale, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

Chale questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Chale?
Yes, Chale is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Chale?
All our work, in Chale and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
What does floor joint sealing cost?

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. 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. In a small place like Chale, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Chale, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
Joints and finishes in Chale homes
Floors around the Isle of Wight run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like St Andrew's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. In and around Chale, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
