Clatterford questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Clatterford?
Yes, Clatterford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Clatterford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Clatterford
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you have gaps at thresholds between rooms and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Clatterford often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Joints and finishes in Clatterford homes
Across the Isle of Wight, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What affects the quote in Clatterford
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Clatterford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Clatterford
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Community buildings like Church of St. Nicholas in Castro are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.

Why act early in Clatterford
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Around Clatterford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
