About our floor joint sealing in Broadwater
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and skirting boards.
In smaller places like Broadwater, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common questions in Broadwater
Will you come out to Broadwater?
Yes. Broadwater is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Worthing station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
When to call us in Broadwater
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For landlords with property near Worthing station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Joints and finishes in Broadwater homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Mary's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Broadwater CofE Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broadwater
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Homes in smaller places like Broadwater can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
