What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. In a small place like Waldershare, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Waldershare
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Community buildings like Church of St Pancras are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Waldershare, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Letting agents and landlords in Waldershare can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Common questions in Waldershare
Do you cover smaller places like Waldershare?
Yes. Waldershare is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Waldershare?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Waldershare is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
