About our floor joint sealing in Ardingly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice because it handles water. If you’re dealing with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Ardingly, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ardingly, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Ardingly
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For buildings such as St Peter's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- How hidden problems are handled
Floor joint sealing in Ardingly: local notes
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like St Peter's CofE Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
