About our floor joint sealing in Staplefield
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you are dealing with tiled floors with no room to move and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Staplefield, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

New homes and floors in Staplefield
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as St Mark's CofE Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Mark, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Staplefield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Staplefield
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For landlords with property near Balcombe station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
