Floor joint sealing in Lye Green, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening between the floor and skirting and gaps at thresholds between rooms, across skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Lye Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Floor joint sealing around Lye Green
Across Buckinghamshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St George's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Berkhamsted station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lye Green
Is Lye Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lye Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lye Green?
Yes, Lye Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. In a small place like Lye Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
When to call us in Lye Green
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Managing a site like Brushwood Junior School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
