Floor joint sealing in Godshill
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you are dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Godshill, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

When to call us in Godshill
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like All Saints' Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Godshill
Floors around the Isle of Wight run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

FAQs for Godshill
Is Godshill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Godshill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

What else we do in Godshill
Why act early in Godshill
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Older cottages and farmhouses around Godshill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
