Floor joint sealing in Gay Street, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you’re dealing with worn sealant at door thresholds and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Gay Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gay Street and across West Sussex.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. In a small place like Gay Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed

Gay Street: your questions answered
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Gay Street for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Gay Street is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Common problems we fix in Gay Street
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
In and around Gay Street, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Floor joint sealing around Gay Street
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 let a flat or house near Pulborough station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
