How we quote for floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Maplehurst, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Around Maplehurst, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Maplehurst, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Do you need floor joint sealing in Maplehurst?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Maplehurst: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Maplehurst?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Christs Hospital station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors

What floor joint sealing looks like in Maplehurst
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Christs Hospital station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
