Floor joint sealing near East Lavington

When it is not the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Large cracks that need a surveyor
  • Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
  • A tiled floor that needs relaying

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Tiled floors
  • Skirting boards
  • Thresholds
  • Commercial floors
  • Concrete floor joints
  • Wet room & bathroom floors

How we handle floor joint sealing in East Lavington

Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you’re dealing with open joints around bathroom floor edges and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors alike.

For a small place like East Lavington, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in East Lavington

A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.

The problems people usually mention when they call include:

  • Open joints around bathroom floor edges
  • Floor edges that trap water and grime
  • Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
  • Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant

If you look after a building such as Graffham CofE Infant School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • What the cure time is
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee

Floor joint sealing in East Lavington: local notes

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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Peter, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why act early in East Lavington

The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Lavington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

How the visit works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as East Lavington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
  2. Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
  3. The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
  4. The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
  5. Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice

What the job involves on each surface

Concrete floor joints

Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.

Wet room and bathroom floors

Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

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.
