How we handle floor joint sealing in St Ives
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. If you’re dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like St Ives, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
St Ives questions
Is St Ives within the area you cover?
Yes. St Ives is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is floor joint sealing in St Ives guaranteed?
All our work, in St Ives and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.

Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Why act early in St Ives
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like St Ives, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Large cracks that need a surveyor

New homes and floors in St Ives
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
