What floor joint sealing looks like in Tangmere
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Tangmere Primary Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Tangmere
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Tangmere. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Tangmere, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Tangmere 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 look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Common questions in Tangmere
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Tangmere within the area you cover?
Yes. Tangmere is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Around Tangmere, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
