When to call us in Strettington
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How we handle floor joint sealing in Strettington
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Somewhere as small as Strettington, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Strettington
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a small place like Strettington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
FAQs for Strettington
Can you do floor joint sealing in Strettington?

How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
New homes and floors in Strettington
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Boxgrove CofE Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like St Andrew's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
