DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
About our floor joint sealing in Colwell
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have gaps opening between the floor and skirting and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help, on thresholds, tiled floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Older homes in small places like Colwell often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In a small place like Colwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

New homes and floors in Colwell
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Lymington Pier station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like All Saints Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?

Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
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.

- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
