Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Slindon Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
About our floor joint sealing in Slindon Common
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. We’re often asked to deal with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Around Slindon Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Slindon Common and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Slindon Common
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Slindon Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

Floor joint sealing in Slindon Common: local notes
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.
If you look after a building such as Slindon CofE Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Letting a property close to Barnham station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What we are called out for in Slindon Common
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
