I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?

Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Floor joint sealing in Balls Cross, done properly

Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Balls Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

Floor joint sealing in Balls Cross: 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.
For buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Around Balls Cross, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Balls Cross, 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.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
