Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Kingston by Sea
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
For a new home in or near Kingston by Sea, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Kingston by Sea and across West Sussex.

What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. In an older home around Kingston by Sea, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes from start to finish. A visit to Kingston by Sea is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Common problems we fix in Kingston by Sea
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Letting a property close to Southwick station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote

Floor joint sealing in Kingston by Sea: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael and All Angels Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Glebe Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
