How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Slindon?
We don’t 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.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Slindon
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. We are often asked to deal with open joints around bathroom floor edges and threshold joints that have opened or worn, on tiled floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Slindon often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Slindon
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What we’re called out for in Slindon
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
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.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Slindon needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote

What floor joint sealing looks like in Slindon
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Barnham station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
