Floor & skirting joints in Littlehampton, West Sussex
Our applicators work in Littlehampton on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Littlehampton
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you’re dealing with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and skirting boards alike.
In a town like Littlehampton, skirting and floor joints open up as homes settle and floors move with the seasons. A flexible sealant, rather than rigid filler, keeps those joints closed.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Littlehampton as everywhere else we work.

What affects the quote in Littlehampton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

New homes and floors in Littlehampton
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.
Managing a site like The Littlehampton Academy? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Littlehampton station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Littlehampton
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
When to call us in Littlehampton
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Littlehampton: your questions answered

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Littlehampton guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer.

In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the amount of work. Parking in a town like Littlehampton is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
