About our floor joint sealing in Fishbourne
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We’re often asked to deal with threshold joints that have opened or worn and failed joint filler in concrete floors, on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Fishbourne, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Fishbourne and across the Isle of Wight.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Fishbourne, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Common problems we fix in Fishbourne
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Rented homes near Ryde Esplanade station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What to look for in a quote

What floor joint sealing looks like in Fishbourne
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Wootton Community Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like St. Edmund's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fishbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
