How we handle floor joint sealing in East Ashling
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Around East Ashling, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Where do you work from?

Will it make a mess?

Can new sealant go over the old?
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 information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Do not 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.

Why act early in East Ashling
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Ashling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in East Ashling
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Schools such as Funtington Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Questions to ask before booking

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal

Floor joint sealing around East Ashling
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Bosham station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
