About our floor joint sealing in Kirdford
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. Common call-outs are for gaps at thresholds between rooms and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Around Kirdford, 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 covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Floor joint sealing around Kirdford
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Kirdford questions
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Kirdford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Kirdford?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Kirdford.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. In a small place like Kirdford, access is normally 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.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Kirdford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work
- We never seal over old sealant

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. 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.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
