How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
About our floor joint sealing in Ifield
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a new home in or near Ifield, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ifield
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Homes in smaller places like Ifield can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Ifield is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Places near Ifield
Also in Ifield
Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Questions from Ifield
Do you cover Ifield for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ifield is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ifield?
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.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Ifield
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Crawley, which Ifield is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Crawley has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town, so brand-new homes and homes from the post-war decades sit within a short drive of each other. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging.
For site and facilities teams at buildings 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. If you let a flat or house near Ifield station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as St Margaret's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
