About our floor joint sealing in Nettlecombe
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and tiled floors with no room to move.
For a small place like Nettlecombe, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Floor joint sealing in Nettlecombe: local notes
Floors around the Isle of Wight run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Shanklin station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nettlecombe
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Around Nettlecombe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Nettlecombe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
FAQs for Nettlecombe
Do you cover Nettlecombe for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Nettlecombe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Nettlecombe?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
