New homes and floors in Broadfield
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Crawley, which Broadfield is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Crawley has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging.
Rented homes near Crawley station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like Christ The Lord are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Seymour Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing in Broadfield, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Common call-outs are for failed joint filler in concrete floors and floor edges that trap water and grime, across skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
In and around Broadfield, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
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.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
