Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Floor joint sealing in Winton
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Winton. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. If you are dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Winton just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Common questions in Winton
Do you work for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Winton for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Winton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
When to call us in Winton
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alfriston School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. In a small place like Winton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

New homes and floors in Winton
Floors around East Sussex 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.
Community buildings like Church of St. Andrew are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a small place like Winton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
