Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Aldingbourne
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We’re often asked to deal with open joints that fill with dirt and tiled floors with no room to move, on skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
For a small place like Aldingbourne, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Aldingbourne and across West Sussex.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Aldingbourne
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Aldingbourne Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

When to call us in Aldingbourne
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Aldingbourne: your questions answered
I let a flat near Barnham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Aldingbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not paint over silicone
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
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.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Aldingbourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldingbourne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
