Floor joint sealing in Jacob's Post, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can put it right, on thresholds, tiled floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Around Jacob's Post, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

What we are called out for in Jacob's Post
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For buildings such as Providence Strict Baptist Chapel, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

New homes and floors in Jacob's Post
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Burgess Hill station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Gattons Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Jacob's Post can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
