Floor joint sealing in Ladwell, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. If you’re dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Ladwell often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Ladwell questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ladwell?
Yes. Ladwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chandlers Ford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.

What else we do in Ladwell
Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ladwell can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
When to call us in Ladwell
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
If you look after a building such as John Keble Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the colour is chosen

- 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.
- 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.
