About our floor joint sealing in Yarbridge
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. Common call-outs are for floor edges that trap water and grime and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across thresholds, tiled floors and commercial floors.
Work in a small place like Yarbridge just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Common questions in Yarbridge
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brading station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Yarbridge?
Yes, Yarbridge is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What else we do in Yarbridge
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Yarbridge, 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job. Around Yarbridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Joints and finishes in Yarbridge homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like St. Mary's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
What we’re called out for in Yarbridge
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
