Floor joint sealing in Slaugham, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt cannot get in. Common call-outs are for caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
In a village or hamlet like Slaugham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Slaugham as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Slaugham
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Slaugham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Slaugham
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Schools such as Warninglid Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Slaugham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing around Slaugham
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Balcombe station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When can I walk on the floor?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
