About our floor joint sealing in Oving
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. Typical jobs include dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds.
Around Oving, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Oving and across West Sussex.

Floor joint sealing around Oving
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Westbourne House School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In a small place like Oving, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Oving
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Oving?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Oving, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
