About our floor joint sealing in Wick
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
In smaller places like Wick, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What we’re called out for in Wick
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lyminster Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Common questions in Wick
Can you do floor joint sealing in Wick?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wick is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Littlehampton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over 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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Parking around Wick is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

We quote each job on its own. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Homes in smaller places like Wick can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
