Floor joint sealing around Ferring
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.
Rented homes near Goring-By-Sea station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like St Andrew's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Ferring CofE Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Ferring
Across Ferring, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. Common call-outs are for chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Homes around Ferring range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Ferring
Will you come out to Ferring?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ferring?
Yes, Ferring is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not paint over silicone
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Ferring, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Why act early in Ferring
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In an older home around Ferring, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
