Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Southwick
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 work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Southwick, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Southwick
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Southwick, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Common problems we fix in Southwick
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.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as Eastbrook Primary Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In an older home around Southwick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
