Joints and finishes in Merstone homes
Across the Isle of Wight, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around Merstone, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Merstone
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. If you’re dealing with caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Merstone, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Merstone, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Merstone, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Questions from Merstone
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 any work starts.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Merstone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Merstone is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.
