How we handle floor joint sealing in Singleton
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We’re often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Work in a small place like Singleton just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.

Questions from Singleton
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Singleton?
All our work, in Singleton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Singleton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
When to call us in Singleton
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Community buildings like The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Joints and finishes in Singleton homes
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Singleton CofE Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Why it’s worth doing now in Singleton
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. In a small place like Singleton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
