Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Floor joint sealing in Highleigh, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can put it right.
Around Highleigh, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Highleigh?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Community buildings like St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Do I need to be at home?

Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours with out-of-hours work where needed.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Joints and finishes in Highleigh homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as Sidlesham Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. Around Highleigh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Tidy, careful work
