Your questions about floor joint sealing in Dormans Park
Is Dormans Park within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Dormans Park?
Yes, Dormans Park is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Dormans Park
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We are often asked to deal with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, across thresholds, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Dormans Park, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Dormans Park
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For buildings such as St John the Evangelist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Joints and finishes in Dormans Park homes
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Dormans station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Dormans Park, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Dormans Park
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead 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.
