Floor joint sealing in Durfold Wood
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 at thresholds between rooms and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can help, on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Durfold Wood, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. In a small place like Durfold Wood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Durfold Wood
Is Durfold Wood in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Durfold Wood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Durfold Wood?
Yes, Durfold Wood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
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.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Floor joint sealing in Durfold Wood: 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Witley station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
