Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Small Dole
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. Typical jobs include chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Work in a small place like Small Dole just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Small Dole, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
New homes and floors in Small Dole
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around Small Dole, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Small Dole
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Look out for these signs:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
If you let a flat or house near Shoreham-By-Sea station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Why deal with it now?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. Around Small Dole, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
