About our floor joint sealing in Reculver
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Around Reculver, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Reculver, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

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.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
What affects the quote in Reculver
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Around Reculver, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Common problems we fix in Reculver
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Managing a site like Reculver Church of England Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
