About our floor joint sealing in Hammerwood
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Common call-outs are for open joints around bathroom floor edges and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, across concrete floor joints, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Hammerwood, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Hammerwood, 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 checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

What affects the quote in Hammerwood
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Joints and finishes in Hammerwood homes
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Dormans station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sackville School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What else we do in Hammerwood
Why it’s worth doing now in Hammerwood
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. In a small place like Hammerwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hammerwood questions
Is Hammerwood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dormans station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Hammerwood?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Stephen, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
