How floor joint sealing works in West Sussex

Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and floor edges that trap water and grime.

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors.

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.
The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Floor joint sealing across West Sussex: local notes

In West Sussex, floor joint sealing work takes in new homes, older houses and commercial units, in Crawley, Horsham and Worthing and well beyond. The common thread is movement: every joint has to allow for it.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in West Sussex, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in West Sussex can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Crawley: For buildings such as Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Three Bridges Junior School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Different surfaces, different methods

Concrete floor joints

Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.

Tiled floors

A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.

What happens if it’s left?

Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down.

Signs you need floor joint sealing

Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.

Common reasons people contact us include:

Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards

DIY versus a professional finish

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
