Floor joint sealing in Wellow, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We are often asked to deal with failed joint filler in concrete floors and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Wellow often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Wellow
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Managing a site like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Wellow, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Wellow: 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Wellow Baptist Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Wellow questions
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Wellow?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Wellow?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wellow is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wellow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
