How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Shalcombe
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. If you have gaps opening between the floor and skirting and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Shalcombe, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing in Shalcombe: local notes
Floors around the Isle of Wight run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like St. Mary's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shalcombe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Shalcombe, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Is Shalcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Shalcombe is covered. 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.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
