Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.

New homes and floors in Old Shoreham
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Shoreham-By-Sea station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Swiss Gardens Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Structural movement or subsidence

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

Related advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Old Shoreham?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
For buildings such as St Nicolas' Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
