Floor joint sealing in Ifieldwood
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which is not made to be painted. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
In a village or hamlet like Ifieldwood, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Do not paint over silicone
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.

What else we do in Ifieldwood
What floor joint sealing looks like in Ifieldwood
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.
Community buildings like St Margaret's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as The Mill Primary Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Common problems we fix in Ifieldwood
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For landlords with property near Ifield station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Ifieldwood, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Ifieldwood
Do you work for landlords with property near Ifield station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ifieldwood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
