Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Partridge Green
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. Typical jobs include tiled floors with no room to move and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Around Partridge Green, 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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Partridge Green questions
Is floor joint sealing in Partridge Green guaranteed?
All our work, in Partridge Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Partridge Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Partridge Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Floor joint sealing in Partridge Green: local notes
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.
Community buildings like St Michael and All Angels Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Partridge Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Leaks from a failed tanking system

When to call us in Partridge Green
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Managing a site like Jolesfield CofE Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
