Floor joint sealing in Adur
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 so water and dirt can’t get in. We’re often asked to deal with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, across thresholds, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Adur, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Adur and everywhere else we cover.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Adur, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

When to call us in Adur
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
If you let a flat or house near Shoreham-By-Sea station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Adur questions
I let a flat near Shoreham-By-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Adur?
Yes, Adur is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Normally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
New homes and floors in Adur
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like St Nicolas' Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as The Sir Robert Woodard Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
