Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Floor joint sealing in Poling: local notes
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.
For landlords with property near Arundel station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as The Littlehampton Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Poling
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Arundel station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Poling in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Poling is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. In a small place like Poling, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Poling can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
