Floor joint sealing in Ford
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening between the floor and skirting and tiled floors with no room to move.
In a village or hamlet like Ford, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Ford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. In a small place like Ford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Joints and finishes in Ford 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as The Littlehampton Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Ford station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
