About our floor joint sealing in Crawley

If you have open joints around bathroom floor edges and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Crawley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

New homes and floors in Crawley
Across Oxfordshire, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Hailey Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Common problems we fix in Crawley
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Evangelist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

FAQs for Crawley
Will you come out to Crawley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
