What floor joint sealing looks like in The Haven
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Floor joint sealing in The Haven, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Work in a small place like The Haven just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
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.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
For anyone letting property in or around The Haven, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in The Haven
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The Haven: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like The Haven?
Yes. The Haven is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
