DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Floor joint sealing in Little Heath
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. If you are dealing with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and commercial floors alike.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Little Heath, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Little Heath is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Why it’s worth doing now in Little Heath
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In an older home around Little Heath, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
