How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Gurnard needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Gurnard
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Gurnard, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gurnard
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What affects the quote in Gurnard
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Floor joint sealing in Gurnard: local notes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints' Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
