Signs you need floor joint sealing in Mount Bures
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Community buildings like Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
