DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our floor joint sealing in Pett
Across Pett, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Around Pett, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pett can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Pett
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For buildings such as St Mary & St Peter, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
