About our floor joint sealing in Gubbion's Green
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about skirting caulk that keeps splitting and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Somewhere as small as Gubbion's Green, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Gubbion's Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Gubbion's Green
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Schools such as Great Leighs Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
