DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Floor joint sealing in Norton End, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Norton End often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Around Norton End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
