Common questions in Copthorne
Do you work for landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Copthorne within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Copthorne
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. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help.
In smaller places like Copthorne, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Copthorne, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. In a smaller place like Copthorne, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

Joints and finishes in Copthorne 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Fairway Infant School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Gatwick Airport station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like St John's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. A visit to Copthorne is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
