About our floor joint sealing in Somerton
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Around Somerton, 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, whatever its size.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.

What else we do in Somerton
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Somerton
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Somerton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerton
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Somerton
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Somerton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
