Floor joint sealing in Storrington, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and open joints that fill with dirt.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Storrington, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Storrington is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are 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.
Joints and finishes in Storrington homes
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Storrington Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Pulborough station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Why act early in Storrington
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Around Storrington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Storrington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Storrington?
Yes, Storrington is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Storrington?
Yes, Storrington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Storrington
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

When to call us in Storrington
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
