What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

About our floor joint sealing in Thakeham
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We’re often asked to deal with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors.
Older homes in small places like Thakeham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thakeham
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Floor joint sealing around Thakeham
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Rydon Community College? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Rented homes near Pulborough station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Thakeham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Yes, Thakeham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.

How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
