New homes and floors in Hammerpot
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as St Margaret's CofE Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Margaret, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Floor joint sealing in Hammerpot, done properly
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. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Hammerpot often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common problems we fix in Hammerpot
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you let a flat or house near Angmering station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hammerpot and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Hammerpot, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hammerpot, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
