How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Floor joint sealing in Emsworth
Across Emsworth, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are concrete floor joints that have broken down and tiled floors with no room to move.
For a new home in or near Emsworth, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Emsworth and across West Sussex.

Why act early in Emsworth
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Emsworth, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

New homes and floors in Emsworth
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.
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Emsworth station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
