Why act early in Little London
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. Around Little London, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What else we do in Little London
When to call us in Little London
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Floor joint sealing in Little London: local notes
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.
Rented homes near Balcombe station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as St Peter's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
