Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Godstone
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
In a village or hamlet like Godstone, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Godstone
I let a flat near Godstone station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Godstone?
Yes, Godstone is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Godstone
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Rented homes near Godstone station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Godstone, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Godstone
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Godstone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Floor joint sealing around Godstone
Floors around Surrey 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.
If you look after a building such as Godstone Village School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
