Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Halnaker
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 in a colour to suit. If you’re dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Halnaker, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Joints and finishes in Halnaker homes
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Boxgrove CofE Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
