Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Maylandsea needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Why act early in Maylandsea
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Maylandsea, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

When to call us in Maylandsea
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Schools such as Maylandsea Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What else we do in Maylandsea
Maylandsea: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Maylandsea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Maylandsea in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Maylandsea is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
