Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Floor joint sealing in Selsfield Common
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. Typical jobs include gaps at thresholds between rooms and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Around Selsfield Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Floor joint sealing around Selsfield Common
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Leonard, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
Look out for these signs:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Rented homes near East Grinstead station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

FAQs for Selsfield Common
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Grinstead station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Selsfield Common?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Selsfield Common is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Selsfield Common, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

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 fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
