How we handle floor joint sealing in Mid Lavant
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you have tiled floors with no room to move and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Mid Lavant, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Mid Lavant and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is

- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Mid Lavant
Is Mid Lavant in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Mid Lavant is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Mid Lavant?
Yes, Mid Lavant 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.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Mid Lavant, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Letting a property close to Fishbourne station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Joints and finishes in Mid Lavant homes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Lavant CofE Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
