Floor joint sealing in Sompting
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Typical jobs include gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
For a new home in or near Sompting, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a job in Sompting, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Sompting?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Schools such as Sompting Village Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sompting
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sompting
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a smaller place like Sompting, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Joints and finishes in Sompting homes
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own 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 St Peter the Apostle, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Lancing station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Usually it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
