How we handle floor joint sealing in Bosham Hoe
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and failed joint filler in concrete floors, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Bosham Hoe, 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 our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Bosham Hoe
Is Bosham Hoe in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bosham Hoe is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bosham station?

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.

What else we do in Bosham Hoe
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Bosham Hoe, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Bosham Hoe
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For landlords with property near Bosham station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
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.
Joints and finishes in Bosham Hoe homes
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
