DIY versus a professional finish
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing in Steephill
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Steephill, 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 one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Floor joint sealing in Steephill: local notes
Across the Isle of Wight, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like Church of St. Alban-the-martyr are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Steephill
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Steephill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Steephill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
