How we handle floor joint sealing in Tillington
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Somewhere as small as Tillington, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Tillington as everywhere else we work.

New homes and floors in Tillington
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, 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 The Parish Church of All Hallows, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
FAQs for Tillington
Is floor joint sealing in Tillington guaranteed?
All our work, in Tillington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Tillington within the area you cover?
Yes. Tillington 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.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Tillington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tillington
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tillington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
