About our floor joint sealing in Pound Hill
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. Typical jobs include dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds.
In and around Pound Hill, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Pound Hill
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. Crawley, which Pound Hill is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Newer neighbourhoods have been added to Crawley over the years, so brand-new homes and homes from the post-war decades sit within a short drive of each other. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Pound Hill Infant Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as St Barnabas', floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Landlord and commercial work in Pound Hill
For anyone letting property in or around Pound Hill, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a smaller place like Pound Hill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Pound Hill questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Three Bridges station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Pound Hill in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Pound Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Pound Hill?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Common problems we fix in Pound Hill
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you let a flat or house near Three Bridges station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Who turns up on the day
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Pound Hill is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
