Floor & skirting joints in Loxwood, West Sussex
Floor joints in Loxwood need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
How we handle floor joint sealing in Loxwood
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Loxwood often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Loxwood and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. In a small place like Loxwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Loxwood?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Schools such as Loxwood Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

Questions from Loxwood
Is floor joint sealing in Loxwood guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Loxwood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Which products do you use?
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.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, 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.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Floor joint sealing in Loxwood: local notes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
