What floor joint sealing looks like in Cote
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Durrington Junior School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Symphorian's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Cote
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about tiled floors with no room to move and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Work in a small place like Cote just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
What else we do in Cote
What affects the quote in Cote
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Cote
Do you cover Cote for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Cote is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Durrington-On-Sea station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Cote, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why act early in Cote
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cote can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Full insurance on every job
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll 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 Cote
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
For landlords with property near Durrington-On-Sea station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
