About our floor joint sealing in Five Oaks
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. Typical jobs include threshold joints that have opened or worn and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Around Five Oaks, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Five Oaks: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Billingshurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Five Oaks?
Yes. Five Oaks is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Joints and finishes in Five Oaks homes
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Weald School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a small place like Five Oaks, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Five Oaks?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Five Oaks, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
