Floor Joint Sealing in Chidham
Our applicators work in Chidham on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
How we handle floor joint sealing in Chidham
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 skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are open joints around bathroom floor edges and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Chidham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Floor joint sealing in Chidham: local notes
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is 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 St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Chidham Parochial Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What we are called out for in Chidham
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
If you let a flat or house near Nutbourne station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What to look for in a quote

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint from start to finish. In a small place like Chidham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
