About our floor joint sealing in Fontwell
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
For a small place like Fontwell, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

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, depending on the length of joint, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Fontwell, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ormiston Six Villages Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Fontwell: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barnham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Fontwell within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Fontwell?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fontwell can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
