Floor & skirting joints in Lickfold, West Sussex
Problem with your floor joints in Lickfold? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Lickfold, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Floor joint sealing in Lickfold, done properly
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
For a small place like Lickfold, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Lickfold
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Lickfold
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
FAQs for Lickfold
Is Lickfold within the area you cover?
Yes, Lickfold is covered. 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Haslemere station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Lickfold, along with the rest of our area.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
